I've come across a good deal on a pair of lightly used (sorry Mr. Pass, wish I could afford to buy new), xa100.5 monoblocks. I realize amps need to be matched to the speakers with regards to input sensitivity but it's a topic that I don't know much about. I own a pair of revel ultima studio 2's that have a sensitivity of 87.7dB and a nominal impedance of 6 ohms and a minimum of 3.7 ohms. My speakers are positioned about 3 meters from my listening position, maybe plus one foot.
I'm just wondering, is the xa100.5 enough amplifier for my studio 2's to keep it from running out of class A?
Also, when i'm home and not sitting down to listen at normal levels I always have music on in the background while doing things around the house. I fully expect that at this louder level the amp would probably run in A/B but i'm just worried about clipping.
My main concern though is keeping that needle in the middle of the meter when sitting down to listen and not harming my speakers when turning it up for out of room background music.
Any advice/input would be much appreciated.
