I am considering amplifiers to pair with the speakers and have decided on the PASS Labs XA series. The impedance curve is not very taxing on these beauties. Will 60 watt class A amps be enough for these, do you think?

Parsifalcor,
Julie Mullins published a test of the PL 500 II for the Absolute Sound on jan 23rd 2017, in which she discussed different amplifiers.

The PL500 II has a minimum impedance of 4,2 Ohm at 120 Hz, which is easy, so 60 watt class A is, in general, enough for sure.
Trying in your own system is always the best.
My dealer with the cooperation of the importer of Monitor Audio has let me try these PL 500 II at my home for free for 2 full weeks without any obligation! Very commendable!
Best.
