I noticed there a lot of used bryston 4b3 amp for sale.What people don't like in sound?
Pass Labs XA30.8
All,
Do you think Pass Labs XA30.8 has enough power to drive 86 dBL Dynaudio focus 380 speaker well? My room size is 23'x18'x8' and I sit about 8' away from the speakers. Usual loudness is about 50 to 67 dBL when measured with noise meter app using my phone.
Also, what sonic improvement will I hear going from Bryston 4B Cube to XA30.8?
Thanks.

I had a XA-30.5 for many years, I haven't hear the .8 series (yet). First it was driving a pair of Watt Puppy 5.1's and then a pair of Sasha I's. Both of these speakers are difficult loads, in a 23' x 16' room played to lifelike volume levels. This amp is by far the biggest over-achiever I've ever experienced. Our system had Meridian 800 series digital components, upper tier MIT Oracle cables, Sound Application power conditioner and the room was well treated. Our system was very revealing, and while multiple changes occurred the XA-30.5 was never the weak point. Highly recommended without hesitation. |
panerai557 OPCan't find much measured info on those speakers, if they are true 4ohm you should be fine with the 30.8, because it gives 60w out then. But if the speaker is more 8ohm with just a dip to 4ohms, the the 30.8 is only going to give 30w. Which at 86db may not be enough to go loud enough for you. Cheers George |
