Pass Labs XA30.8 for Dynaudio C1 Platinum

Few things - 

1. It’s not the quantity of the watts, it’s the quality. There’s no doubt about quality of power this amplifier delivers. 

2. The XA30.8 will put out over 100w into 4ohms. But you will most likely hardly push it there in the medium sized room. Should be no issues when it happens.

That's basically what I was thinking, but I learned long ago at an early stage in the audio hobby its better to overbuild a system as opposed to under estimate. Ideally I'd love to try the xa60.8 monoblocks, but I have a feeling they'd be a bit out of budget, and also at that point start to worry about power requirements for the rest of my equipment without having to make drastic changes. 

I own a Pass XA 30.8 driving B&W 805 D3 speakers rated around 86 dB sensitivity. Have a PS Audio BHK preamp driving the Pass XA 30.8. Normal listening is with the BHK volume at 30 to 40%. Volume at 60% will drive you from the room. No clipping at all.

gareents thanks for the reply. I think I've seen more than enough evidence from users such as yourself that the xa30.8 would be fine for my current set of speakers. I guess the rest depends on just pulling the trigger and wanting to spend the funds. Pretty crazy economy right now!
