Pass Labs XA60.5 with Confidence C1

Hi Folks,

Do you think I would be okay with this match?

Pass with 60 class A and the Dynaudio C1's 85dB 4ohm.

I know the XA100.5 would be the best bet but at this time it is a pretty good step up in cost diff.

I am not in my permanent home yet and in transition but I know it will not be an overly large room (California prices) and I do not listen at insane levels. This is for a combined stereo/ht rig and I am currently using a Simaudio Titan for all five channels. If this works out I would like one more down the road for center and then a small two channel amp hidden in my av cabinet.

Thanks
dynguy

I think the best bet would be to contact Reno HiFi and get a pair of XA-60.5 for audition and decide for yourself. The audition will cost you shipping plus a 10% restocking fee.

I suspect the match would be OK, but that you might run out of steam for dynamic peaks. But, it really depends on your personal listening levels and music preference, which is why the home audition is the ideal solution.
