Revisiting this thread with some experience of my Xa 100.8.
Still wondering whether Xa 160.8 will be better for wilson Audio Sasha mk i.
Looking at max output current the Xa 100.8 has 40 amps.
Xa160.5 has 36 amps
Xa 100.5 has 28 amps.
i believe the max output current is the parameter to match for speaker with impedance drop. hence it appears that the XA 100.8 is the winner.
The Xa 160.8 has and Xa 200. 8 both have 50 amps.
DAMPING FACTOR;
All the above amplifiers and the Xs 300 have the same damping factor of 200.
i deduce therefore that damping factor of 200 is adequate for these amps.
coming to my problem it appears the Sasha needs max output current of 26 amps when impedance dips to its lowest.
therefore the Xa 100.8 is more than aderquate and better than Xa 160.5 in this regard.
looking forward to corrections to my assumptions
