Pass XA25 or Pass XA 30.8

Hi everyone!  I have been a tube guy for the past 20+ years and have decided to give one of these Pass amps a try.  I would like to hear from owners of the XA25 and XA 30.8 on why you chose your amp and what you really love about the XA 25 ormr 30.8!  Both have great reviews but I want to hear your impressions.  I will  still be using a nice tube preamp btw!

My speakers are Intuitive Design Gammas.  Very few have heard of the brand or heard the speakers. 89 db sensitive.  Solid granite cabinets and granite stands.  Large monitor speakers.
I am currently driving them with a 13 watt tube amp in a 11 x 13 room.  13 tube watts work great in the smaller room.  I am sure the First Watts would also work.

I have enjoyed all the responses.  Thank you everyone.  I have always looked at Schiit as something to try.
