Ampzilla 2000 v2 and Mcintosh MC402

I have the opportunity to either purchase an Ampzilla 2000 or MC402 from Mcintosh. I am choosing either one of these and would like your opinion on either one. Which one is better sound quality wise?

The rest of my system is : Mcintosh C1100 preamp, KEF reference 1 speakers, and Audioquest cables.

I like deep big bass, smooth mid range, big and deep sound stage and airy high.

Hello, to the person who stated he was surprised his McIntosh worked with a Pass power amplifier. Why surprised? Does your McIntosh have unique colorations you believe are tailored for those of a McIntosh amplifier?

@mitsound 

what makes you think the McIntosh gives a colored presentation?  Have you ever owned a Mac or is it just heresay?

I never said it did. Learn to understand what you read. Someone mentioned they were surprised their McIntosh preamplifier worked with their Pass power amplifier. I asked why.

Show me where I stated it was coloured.

Ampzilla 2000 was far superior to the X350.8 I tried in my system.

Another to try is prob SPL.

@keithr too bad, I just cancelled my ampzilla order yesterday. I might go with pass labs based on every one recommendation.
