Pass XA will have same control as Krell with all the liquidity of the rest of the Pass lineup, and then some. XA series have more control over low end than X series. As long as you are getting high powered XA series, it will be comparable to Krell.
Krell FPB750MCX versus Pass X160.5 or X600.5
Yesterday I heard a Pass X250.5 amplifier at a friends house. I love the smooth liquid sound of this amplifier. He was using the B&W Nautilus 802D. However I felt the bass could be a little bit more controlled.
So now I am doubting how the Pass amps would match in my system. Now I play with Wilson Maxx and Krell FPB750MCX mono blocks. I found the more power, the better the amp sounds. I also have a Krell FPB400CX but the 750's sound much better.
Should I go for the XA160.5 or for the 600.5. Everybody has a diferent opinion. I love the smooth Pass sound but I think the 600.5 might be more dynamic and have better bass control.
How do the Krell and Pass amps compare. Any opinions are welcome.
