McIntosh MC-1.2KW vs PASS XA-160.5 amps ??


I am torn between the two set of amps.

Love the finesse of the PASS AX-160.5 amps and also love the brute power of the McIntosh MC-1.2KW amps.

Both priced around $22K msrp for the pair.

What is the better choice in general between the two?

My TAD reference speakers will sound great on either set, so it comes down to pros and cons of the PASS vs MCINTOSH.

Thank you for your contribution.

Don't know about the pass but my mc 1.2 run about room tempature and sound right without a long warmup or leaving them on 24/7. I can't imagine wanting anything different after having these, they sound just as good at a wisper as they do cranked. Ed
