Hi Famaraca. Pls give more info: Which speakers do you have and what kind of music do you listen to... partnering equip.

Having listened to both with their respective partnering pre, but in DIFFERENT home systems, I lean towards the system with the Pass. Pls note: different systems. I agree with Lev regarding the mid, but could add that the Pass system sounded slightly closer to "natural" sound overall. The music was classical.
Good luck!
Famaraca, can you check out the synergy either of these amps w/ your Krell -- I do mean, try it out. This may be a decisive factor (I can't tell offhand -- maybe Lev has knows?). Either amp should drive the speakers superbly...
Pass design & construction are purportedly top-notch; I have never taken one apart. As to Levinsons, see Lev above.
Accuphase, eh, you lucky devil... (I love the sound of those machines).
Good luck!
