Pass Labs Speaker Choices

Various front end ---> XA25 ---> Zu Soul VI (w/ smaller REL sub) = just right for me.

Pass X250.8 > Pass XP22 > bi-wired Vandersteen Quatro CT. Wide and deep soundstage with great imaging in a 14'X16' room with a 5' high knee wall that opens to a eat-in kitchen behind it. The Pass X 250.8 is considered the sweet spot of the lineup of modern Pass class AB amps.

I also ran this amp with Thiel CS2.3 speakers and it controlled these power hungry speakers with ease. Good luck.

I am using Pass XA 160’s into an AR Ref 6 to Sonus Faber Il Cemonese.  Musical with huge sound stage.

Magnepan 3.7i with Pass 250.8 XP 10 pre.

There's a reason the 3.7i and 250.8 won best of show a few years back and I hear it every day.

Something I often hear from my audio friends. "Any speakers sound good with

your Pass". A generalization naturally but also a lot of truth.

I started with the XA25 amp and then traded it for the INT25. 

I have used Old Tannoys FSMs and that was magical.

I now use Fritz Carerra 7 BEs + REL T5i sub and those are also magic.

If you will be using less sensitive speakers, have a larger room

or listen at 85+dBs I would get the 250 size Pass.
