Pass Labs x150.5 question

Would this amp have enough power to drive a pair of Dynaudio special 25's? It would be paired with a McIntosh C220 preamp. Also, is the Pass/Dynaudio a good combination?

It has all the clarity and dynamics that Dynaudios need. Not sure about the McIntosh though.

Dynaudio C2 + Accuphase amp = great bass but otherwise too rounded and soft for my taste. C2 + push-pull tube integrated = no go! If I had a pair of C2 then Pass X series or even Krell would be some of the first to try.
