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'm sure Pass sounds great with Dyns... but they are class A/B as well, after a couple of watts. I think after 15 watts on the 250 they are A/B

I've had some great McIntosh auditions lately... The MC402 + C2300 heard at Audio Lab, Harvard Square MA, made the Gallo 3.1 that I recently bought (still being delieverd, can't wait) come alive with amazing authority, dynamics and control. Very musical sound, and I really wish I had the $13k or so to afford the pair.

I haven't the new pass .5 series, but I think the McIntosh would match really well with Dynaudio. I used to own the S1.4s, so I'm pretty familliar with the Dyns.
