Anybody Try A5s With Pass XA30.8?

Hey Folks,

I have a 30.8 on the truck for delivery today.  It will replace a Threshold T-400 that is all class A at 150w/ch.  Since what is left of Threshold is here in Houston, I will take the T400 to them and decide whether to just have them go through it or do the upgrade they offer to a more recent Stasis circuit.

One of the other upgrades I am considering is a pair of Magico A5s.  I know some will say the extra AB power if the 30.8 is plenty, blah, blah, blah, but I am interested in hearing from someone who has actually heard the combination.

Hope you folks are well and good,
Robert

Use my A5’s with Pass 60.8 mono’s.  No problem in a 29 by 16 by 10 foot room and listening about 10 feet from speakers.  Loudest I listen is maybe 90 - 95 db peaks, usually much less.

The 30.8 at half the power should be OK at the moderate volumes specified.

Good luck!

Hey Folks,

Actually bought S3 2023s last month.  XA30.8 powers them fine.

I am still moving them around but I have them close I think.  Really good of course.

Thanks for the replies,

Robert
