Pass labs xa30.8 vs Krell evo 402e

@Zavato,

Yes I was using int30a before. It's the xa30.5 inside it. So do you mean int30a will have veiled vocals but not the xa30.5 separately?

I think krell will sound more analitical and cleaner with more control over the sound while pass will be on the warmer side of things,less control,but enjoyable too.C1 vocals are excelent.

The veiled vocals has nothing to do with your Pass gear

Yuhengdu, perhaps your speaker placement and room interaction is not optimal? Pass and C1 pairs favorably for me. The Krell might give you more resolution as Extravaganza mentioned. You have to bring in the krell or other amps/sources to experience which one sounds better. Enjoy the search.

Sort of like comparing a boulevard cruiser to a muscle car?
I can't say from experience, but it appears as though your speakers are bit insensitive. As such the more powerful Krell (yes, I know the xa30.8 has much more headroom than might appear at first glance) might help with your immediate concern, but what other trade offs that come to be, might or might not be worth it. As suggested above, there might be other ways to remedy your concerns.
