Aesthetix Calypso compatible with Pass amps?

I currently own an Aesthetix Calypso preamp and was considering pairing it with Pass XA-100 monos, however the Pass has an input impedance of 22k. Does anyone out there have any experience regarding using the Calypso with Pass amplification, and are there any issues? I know the Aesthetix website says it requires 10k single ended, 20 k balanced for best results, however 22k is cutting it pretty close. I would appreciate any feedback.
Thank you,
Darrin

I am really trying to get a feel for the sound of these pre-amps. I was just corresponding with some one who owns the Grange model and sellng because he says 'microphonics are driving him brain crazy"

This pre is for a second system for me, not my main but I want to be able to get the best out of it.

I am looking at the Sauvigon or Cabernet in line stage only.

Thoughts would be appreciated.

Rhythmac24218, I don't no how that happened. Must be the pre-amp shacks or something.

For some reason the beginning of my thread did not go through, it was all about the Calypso and then asking if anyone had compared to bla! bla! bla! the rest of my thread which is there.
