Pass XA25 or Pass XA 30.8

I haven’t heard the XA30.8, but my (very positive) thoughts about the XA25 I own were stated in the thread three_easy_payments linked to in his first post above. Note, though, that as I indicated in that thread my speakers are very easy to drive, and present the amp with an unusually benign load.

Also, if you haven’t already seen it you’ll find the following thread to be of interest:

Thanks for the replies and links to threads.

I have the XA25 and have really enjoyed it. I went from average Yamaha receivers to some older adcom separates. I then got a decent price on a used XA25 and it was a big upgrade. So much more clarity in the voices. I use kef ls50 with the XA25 and it has been great. I will soon be moving to a floor standing speaker for a bigger room. I will be keeping the pass labs XA25 for sure!

What are your speakers and other components? Could possibly have a good match with a first watt too?
i own a J2 and SIT3 with my Devores 

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.
