Simaudio I-7 or Pass INT-150

Has anyone heard both of these integrated amps? Any A/B comparisons would be appreciated.

The Plinius was good, but the sound seemed closed-in compared to the Pass.

The Plinius is actually more musical but because the Dynaudio's are already warm and smooth the Pass would be a better match. Other great matches would be the Primare. A good affordable match would be the Musical Fidelity 5.5 but only because the Dynaudios are smooth and they love power.
