It sounds like the Klipsch and Pass just don't get along.
I've been battling with different amps for the past few years and have gone from Krell, to Musical Fidelity, to Hegel and have landed on Coda.
Check out the Coda offerings. The continuum TS, or the 8, can be configured with an 18 watt class A bias and is neutral/ slightly warm sounding. The only difference between the two - one has meters and the other doesn't. I have the TS and see no reason to upgrade unless I win a lottery. Below is a great review

If your budget allows the next step up (and it is a HUGE step up) check out the Coda 16. I have not heard it, but if you are thinking of new speakers and amp, it may be a consideration.

Good luck!
