Accuphase E450 vs Pass INT150

Will look out for the Anthem, I suspect it will be $3000 here.
My bank account is heading towards the ATC amp, a lot of favourable reviews out there. Interestingly enough its only $3400 here.

Found out I can get the ARC DSI200 for about $6500. SOmehow I suspect the one I heard was not fully broken in as it sounded quite clinical compared to the pass.

Between the two, the E450gets my vote.
The Luxman 505u are also very good for half the price of the E450.

Anyone know how tight the bass is on the Accuphase compared to the Pass or Simaudio?

Thanks

Just found a Luxman dealer in Australia:) L505u is about $5300 (hopefully can discount)

although may not have enough watts for PSB Synchrony Ones to control the bass.

Although the new Stereophile suggests the ATC is ahead of the Luxman...John Marks says more authoritative and more resolving power, lower noise floor. Not sure what he means by ATC having more "modern" sound with Luxman being more "retro", "flattering"

ATC is about $3400 where I live.
