BAT VK-600 vs Pass XA100.5

Wondering how someone would contrast the qualities of these two amplifiers.

In comparison, the Pass don't control the woofers of my Wilson Sophia 2's as well. The Pass is much warmer sounding and rolled off on top. The Bat is a tad less smooth in the highs, but much more airy, the bass is tighter and more satisfying and overall tonal balance feels more correct. YMMV.
