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.

TAD used to demo their speakers at shows with Pass amps before they developed their own amps. I own the XA160.5 and couldn't be happier. I'm not familiar with the Mac's.
