@david_ten +1 to the Double Impacts. I am still getting adjusted to all the changes these speakers have brought to the system. But I agree, it seems to be a wonderful pairing.
@flip49er Don’t forget, with the Double Impacts, you are almost always in the XA30.8’s "single-ended" Class A range. The P5 Pass series operated in single-ended class A for the first 10% of their overall class A rating. The Point-8 series is biased even higher into that single-ended range by about another 50%, according to Kent English. No matter how it works out, the XA30.8 has a solid 3-5 watts of class A single-ended bias. With the Tekton Design Double Impacts, you are extremely unlikely to ever leave that range; much less, the full 60-watt push-pull class A range.
