The Pass is wonderful. The 350 is more than you need for the panels/ribbons. Krell is too ss for the Stage. I used tubes on my Stage speakers. The usual set up for Minigrands is to biamp or triamp.

Jason Bloom was using the Krell years ago. If he were still in the business, I doubt very much he would restrict his amp choice to old favorites. I have a friend who was running his Minigrands with a Krell/Aragon. After I demonstrated my tube amp on his Stage, he sold the Krell and is now using the hybrid Llano Trinity, with the Aragon below. With such a revealing speaker, Krells and many other ss amps sound too dry and grainy.

The Stage was designed to use amps in the 100 watt range and an upper limit clearly stated of 200 watts. If you are like my friend, who is very conservative with the volume knob, you can put any mega beast on the stage, but one has to ask, why?

I did mention the Minigrand is usually biamped or triamped.
