Pass XA 25 and Goldenear Triton Reference


I'm considering buying this Pass amp to drive my GE TREFS.  The speakers are about 93db/1watt sensitivity.  Thoughts or feedback or experience with this 25 watt at 8 ohm class A amp and the GE's????  I primarily listen to classic rock.  Using my db meter I rarely listen above 95 db...

You should listen to this combination and evaluate them yourself.  Either buy them with a return option or don't buy them at all.

you maybe okay, however if you turn it up a bit you may clip the amp.

never under estimate having some headroom. 

we were a golden ear dealer for a few years we  tended  to run them with 100 watts or more warm soild state hybrids or tubes  were best.

pass xa25 is very powerful, belies its very modest nominal rating

see ja’s measured output in stereophile’s review... but maybe still not quite enough for those speakers, dunno... depends on room how loud you listen etc as you would imagine

You will never get the full potential of the Triton Reference speakers with less than 100wpc.  I use a 300wpc amp with my T Refs and the sound is effortless and extremely dynamic.
