Best Pass Labs Amp with B&W 800 Diamonds?

Looking for some help on which Pass Labs Amps would pair best with the new B&W 800 Diamonds. I'm currently driving them with an X250.5 and it sounds really good, but from reading the internet is seems there's room for improvement. The combinations I'm considering are:

1) Buy another X250.5 and Bi-Amp. Read a couple of articles that says this is an excellent route and is definately the cheapest.
2) Go for power with some X600.5s (the .8s are still pricy).
3) Go with the XA series, like XA160.5 or maybe the XA200.5 if I can get a deal.

I really like the Pass Labs stuff, so I'd like to stay with them.

Any help is appreciated,

Kevin

I just noticed your message - what did you end up doing? Still on the X250.5, or did you try something else? I have a pair of 800D speakers, and I was debating trying to biamp with a pair of x250.5 or x250.8 amps.

I have tested my speakers with cheaper amps, and I ABSOLUTELY preferred the sound biamped.
