Pass Labs or Devialet

Having thoughts on two integrated amps.  Devialet 220 or a Pass Labs INT-250.

At the moment the speakers  are the Pioneer S-ex1’s with a pair of Rels G1’s subs.

Using PSAudio Direct Stream with Roon and OPPO 205 for discs.

My other smaller room is a separate system the Kii threes, but that is another topic.

Any thoughts?

I personally like the Pass better than the Devialet but it all depends on your speakers and other associated gears (your upstream electronics such as your front end source components). 
Not familiar with your Pioneer speakers.

The only advantage that the Devialet 220 has over the Pass is its slim line ergo friendly appearance. This may be an important consideration if the amp is to be used in a multi purpose living space. Imho, on a purely performance basis, the Pass hands down.
