Pass Labs Speaker Choices

I have a pair of Pass XA60.8’s, and I am driving Dynaudio Confidence 20’s. Preamp is a Prima Luna EVO 400. They sound amazing! I use a Dynaudio Sub 6 as well, but I turn it off when listening to jazz/vocals. Previously I had a pair of Harbeth Monitors 40.2. They also sounded amazing, but I moved into a smaller listening room. So, I got the Confidence 20’s. 

Honestly, I don’t think there is a speaker out there that wouldn’t sound good with Pass Labs amps. Just match the power with the load, and you should be good to go!

Magnepans and YG Acoustics.

I got good results with the Pass XA25 and Tekton Lore Ref BEs (about 89db free air sensitivity). 
 

Great amp but I wouldn’t recommend it for speakers any less efficient, unless one has a small near-field setup.

Can’t comment on other Pass amps but it’s interesting that since I’ve listed my XA25 for sale, multiple potential buyers have told me it’s the best sounding of all Pass amplifiers. 

I currently have Pass INT-150 and Martin Logan Montis.  Like that pairing very much.

The first Magnepans I ever heard were driven by a First Watt amp, I forget which one. The owner thought it showed that a good power supply and solid engineering provided plenty of juice if you weren’t aiming for rock concert sound levels. I took it to heart and now have a living room secondary setup of a diy First Watt M2 driving Maggie MMGWs with a little Martin Logan sub. It’s a sweet sound, but again, pretty modest sound levels and mostly acoustic music.
