Best speakers for a Pass XA 30.5


Dear all,

I'm going to purchase a Pass XA 30.5 and I would appreciate very much  your advice and suggestions about the above mentioned matter, I would like to put my XA 30.5 in the best possible conditions to sing at its best.

So medium high sensitivity 92 - 94 db, and 8 ohm regular and easy impedance are required.

My listening room is abt 23 x 15 ft, wooden floor, no carpets, no curtains but a lot of furniture.

I listen to rock, jazz and electronica to low-medium/medium levels.

I currently own a pair of Totem Mani 2 but I would like to find speakers easier to drive for the Pass.

Both stand mounts with good bass and floor standing are fine, and up to 5000 $ used.

I look for deep soundstage, high resolution, musicality and smoothness.

Please consider that I'm in Italy so I cannot listen and find some of your brands so easily ...


Thank you very much

I own the pass XA30.5 and have driven several speakers with it.You'll find the rated power is underrated and the amp puts out a lot more than it's 35 watts.
My favorite pairing at the moment is the Spatial Audio M3 turbo S.This company does have European distributorship  and they are available in a wood finish for the euro market only. Worth a listen if you have a room behind the speaker for proper placement.
I have the Pass Labs XA30.8 and I'm running a Proac D-30R. The Proac's are easy to drive and the D-20R should fit in your budget.
Good luck
The xa30.5 operates in class a for the first 30 watts and can do well over 200w into 4ohms and lower in class A/B.
i used one to drive my kef ls50 with great results. which are 86db sensitive i believe.
