Krell / Mcintosh / Pass For Dynaudios


Hi all,

No way of comparing these next to one another. looking at posibly up grading my amps to make my C5 sing there hearts out. Basically looking at Mcintosh (MC402 or MC501), Krell (no idea of model - sugestions appreciated) or Pass X250.5.

Are the Mcintosh class A?

Will purchase second hand which ever way I go.

Cheers

I really like both Pass and Krell. I agree that Krell stuff is much better than people bang on. I have never been impressed with McIntosh and actually cannot believe people actually buy the stuff. It sounds in my experiences no better than a receiver. Krell and Pass are my two favorite SS amps. Pass gets the nod for musicality and Krell the nod for bass extension, control and slam. Both are very musical and have amazing bass, just one beats the other slightly as mentioned. If you need power, try Krell, if you dont need as much try Pass. Both are outstanding.
