Retiring my ML 333 for a Krell 300c or Pass x350?

Suggestion:
I owned my Mark Levinson 333 for more then 3 years and now i want to upgrade to another amp. The amp that i want to get is a used Krell FPB-300c or a Pass Lab X350 but i can't choose which one i should get. Both amp is in the 4500 range in the used market. The gear i use with my is a Mark 390s and a Wilson 6 with MIT Oracle IC and SC.

Thanks,
Kirk

I have never heard a sober review of the Krell family where it does not say you can't beat it's grip on the bass drivers, AND say it has a bit of the strained treble that can result in listener fatigue.

The Pass lacks the Krell's bass death grip, but offers, IMO, a smoother mid and sweeter highs. It just so happens a friend has my Pass over right now where he is comparing it to his Levinson. He wants to buy the Pass.

According to the Levinson owner that has my Pass X, the Pass opens up new inner detail.
