Not too many months ago, I replaced a Krell FPB200 with a Pass X250.5 amp in my main system, as the Krell didn't have the desired signature with my new speakers (WP7s). The FPB, while glorious on the old speakers, sounded a bit etched on the new Wilsons.
Comparatively, the Pass has better timbral representation & even better palpability in the treble region (an area of the WPs that could be improved on). I am delighted with the musicality of the 250.5, which I have hooked up to a Python Vx at the moment. A von Gaylord Chinchilla power cord was overkill on the Pass amp.
I listen to classical, more chamber than symphonic, and lots of choral/vocal. YMMV. B/c I also own Aerials in two of my other sound systems (7Bs and 5s), I can confidently predict that the Pass might be an excellent match, as it won't add warmth to the Aerials by any means.
As to power, the Wilsons are quite easy to drive. I have never owned a speaker in this particular system that isn't easy to drive, so I can't provide any feedback on the other question.
