I own a pair of the (much) smaller 1.7s, and as all Maggie speakers they like lots of power/current. I've been getting better results with the Goldmund Telos 280 than with the Pass Labs XA30.8

I also had the X250.8 on loan for a short while, I didn't keep it because I found that the XA30.8 was a better match with the SF Elipsas and the Harbeth 30.1s.
I'd love to hear my 30.2s with a Pass XA 30.8 some time...I've been thinking about getting one ever since I built my Pass Class A Amp Camp amps.
