Retiring my ML 333 for a Krell 300c or Pass x350?

Suggestion:
I owned my Mark Levinson 333 for more then 3 years and now i want to upgrade to another amp. The amp that i want to get is a used Krell FPB-300c or a Pass Lab X350 but i can't choose which one i should get. Both amp is in the 4500 range in the used market. The gear i use with my is a Mark 390s and a Wilson 6 with MIT Oracle IC and SC.

Thanks,
Kirk

Ever consider tubes? If you like power, then VTL or maybe a ARC VT200. I have a BAT VK75SE on my WP6's.

Just a thought...

Go with the Krell.
I use the FPB300c also with the ML 390s and MIT oracle products. Great combo!!!! I have the Thiel CS6 speakers.
I am not knocking the Pass, I am endorsing what I own and
I know how it sounds.

Good luck.........Vader.

I am not sure why your retiring the ML except to just try out something different. I am not sure that either the Krell or the Pass are going to do anything better for you than what you have. Maybe monos would be a thought and going in a totally differenct direction like Conrad Johnson or Rowland. I have had and have ML gear and love. I also just picked up a CJ amp and was really impressed with its warmth. Krell and Pass make great stuff, but are they really doing something really different and better than ML.
