I debated getting the 30.8, but didn't throw no it would drive my speakers.
The INT-60 does fine

THe 30.5 is class A up to 30 watts into 8 ohms. However it goes into AB above 30 watts and actually puts out close to 100 watts. It's called a 30 watt class A amp because it is up to 30 watts. That doesn't say it can't do more.
Damn auto-correct. :-(
Yes, Pass labs tend to be conservative with their power ratings. I had a long chat with Mark at Reno Hifi about that, and he basically said that the 30.8 would be iffy with my speakers at 87 db.

The XA30.5 just goes into class AB when it needs more power. There is something like 6db of headroom with the amp. It actually sounded pretty good at low to moderate volumes.
These speakers like high powered tube amps and Mcintosh amps of 250 watts or more. Maybe it's the output iron that matches up well. :-)
