Line Magnetic 845 Premium or Pass Labs INT-60?


I’m considering 2 similarly priced systems - Line Magnetic 845 Premium ($8000 USA) and Pass Labs INT-60 ($9000). I was considering the Pass, but always been curious about 845 SET amps.
Speakers are high-end DIY Scan-Speak 13” 3-way (86dB), 8” 2.5-way (89dB).

Questions. Topology and power aside:
1. Which has a more convincing 3D spatial and holographic imaging?
2. Better dynamics and frequency response?
3. Any experiences with these or similar brand amps?

Thanks

Thanks for the replies everyone!

13” 3-way, 86dB speakers are 8 ohms in the vocal range, but dip to 4 ohms @50Hz, @5-7kHz.
8” 2.5-way, 89dB speakers are 8 ohms in the vocal range, but dip to 3-4 ohms @80-400Hz, @4-12kHz. I’ll check with Reno HiFi next week when they reopen.
My Custom 65W PP KT88 is fairly good on the 13” 86dB, but doesn’t deliver the dynamics and frequency extension like my solid state amp does on that speaker. Based on my impedances, I wonder if the LM 845 Premium might not sound optimal. I could bi-amp the tube amp to the mid cab, and go plate amp or class D for the bass cab?...
Thanks everyone for the great responses! I think Pass INT-60 will be the logical choice with my range of speakers.👍
