Pass XA 100.5 plugged into Power Plant Premier?

Hi,

I’m living in Europe and the nominal voltage in my country is 220 V; however; though I’m having a dedicated line installed for my stereo, the typical voltage is considerably lower at around 210 V. I just changed my power amplifers to a pair of Pass XA 100.5. I currently have only connected a CD/SACD Player to the PPP.

I set up my PPP to deliver 220 V. The PP therefore generally has to generate an additional 10 Volt.

Would you recommend to connect the Pass to the PPP or do they draw to much current from the PPP, especially considering the low wall-voltage?

Mluding, undervoltage is not usually a problem in terms of reliability. The amp will run slightly less hot and maybe output 5% less power, not a big issue IMV.
Also, I would never use a Class D amp (PPP) to supply power to a fine class A amp. You would be adding class D distortion and HF noise to your fine class A amp.
