Hmm. While I'm not an expert on what the Vandy's need, I would think that the fact they have powered subs would mean they wouldn't require that much power.
The XA series is known for having a lot more power than the rated value (I think the rated value is for class A, after which it goes into A/B). While I wouldn't want to drive my Sophias with the XA 30.5, it was reviewed by someone (Stereophile or TAS, forget which) who had Sophia 2s and supposedly Pass thought it would have enough power.
