Can Pass XA60.8's drive Revel Ultima Salon2's without their tongues hanging out?

Hello all, I'm driving Paradigm Tributes with XA60.8 monos.  Aesthetix Calypso, Auralic Vega, mRendu, NAS/Roon/Tidal, Shunyata pc's, Analysis Plus Solo Crystal Interc's, Big Silver Oval speaker cables round out the system. My listening room is narrow 13'w x 17' long,  9' ceilings. I'm goona be moving to a larger place and I kinda got the shinin' for a pair of Revel Ultima Salon 2's and before I work myself up into a lather thought I might ask the title question: are the XA60.8s up to the challenge? I've only had the 60.8s a few months, I like them and don't really want to change things up if it ain't really necessary. (I traded up from the 250.8 stereo) Peace and thanks

Or get a sub(s); and have it/them high pass back to the amps everything above 30 hz or so.

Down.. ready set..

Full signal. Pass to the sub.

Sub high pass to the Pass..

X-A 60. Point 8. Monoblocks. On two. Hut hut, hut.

I need to pay .....well, tribute to the Tributes because they (and the current system) are open, articulate and musical. And the three 6" woofers produce a surprisingly deep, fast and punchy bass. The Beryllium tweeter sparkles just right too. I think the first order of business is gonna be to get this system in a new home and better acoustic surrounding and evaluate from there before I start throwing $ at it.........unless I see an offer I can't refuse!  ; )

Now that is a smart move..... temptations are always there no matter what you currently own...
