Mcintosh 452 vs Pass Labs XA 30.5

Hello everyone, I'm at the Mcintosh house and so maybe part of the answers will be taken for granted, thanks to the desire to try new devices I'm evaluating a transition from my current Final Pass Xa 30.5 to a MC452. Even the pre should be replaced by switching from an Xp10 Pass to the Mcintosh C48.
I use the Totem Mani 2, Audio Physic Scorpio 2 and Tannoy Eaton speakers in a listening environment of around 20 sqm at low and medium volumes.
I would like some advice from those who have had the opportunity to try, comparing these brands and the good interface between the coupled MC 48 and 452 and my speakers.
Thank you.

As opinionated as bo1972 is, with as many posts as he has, there is no mention on his "home page " as to the components he uses to create this " "TRU FI ", as he says. Besides, anyone who bashes horns, and says they are not lifelike, is a totally BS kind of person. I also read past his posts. If bo1972 would like to comment on my post, it would mean NOTHING to me, as his opinions mean nothing to me. I have been at this for over 50 years, and I go where my ears take me. Enjoy ! MrD.

I know many people who work in  audio who have the same opinion as I have regarding horns. We will use people from the conservatorium to show people how instruments sounds in real. And we will show them how an audiosystem sound what can reveal all the different propertis of sound. 

Audio is all about music and how it sounds in real. So this is the best way to show people how things sound in real.

Real instruments played by people can proof that horns create both sound and the size of instruments a lot different than in reality. Comparing and using real music is the best way to make people understand how instruments sounds in real compared to audio brands and products.
