My amp is smaller than your amps but the X1 shines with it. Everyone will naturally tell you to get what they own but the Pass pre's go nicely with their amps. I'm keeping my X1 forever. Even the earlier Pass pre's were nice. Check out the new ones.The XP 20 would sound nice I bet. I'm just very happy with my Pass gear. The amp and pre I have are keepers.

The controls are flexible and adaptable...not to mention the quality of the circuits, top notch!
