@adversam I did not use subwoofers. So just the XA 30.8 powering the DIs and the DI-SEs.
I also powered the DI-SEs with my 2A3 monoblocks and preferred them over my solid state amps, including the 30.8 and the T+A PA 3100 HV. However, more power and especially high current amplification like the T+A has it’s advantages and upsides.
Average SPLs at the listening position were typically in the high 70s / low 80s dB range, music dependant; with swings into the low to mid 90 dB range.
My room is on the large side [19 by 26] and the Tetktons were pulled out into the room.
