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

Hi, I agree with comments above. I have a Pass Int-60 available for sale (3 months old). I went back to tubes with a 300B SET amp, but my speakers are 93 db. If you are interested in the Pass get in touch.

Hi Chorus, 
My main music library consist of Jazz Trio's. With my 300B SET amp, the sound is more intimate, the precise feeling you want to get while listening to old jazz. The Pass is an excellent SS amp, capable of delivering great performance as well, but the 300B is more romantic and tuned to my taste in sound.
It is a matter of taste in my case, more than better or worse.
Best
