Krell FPB 600 or 400cx?

I own Revel Ultima Salon 2s and am looking to upgrade my amp for better performance in the low end. Right now I'm just not getting any real punch or slam in the bass dept, and I know the Salons are capable of much more. I have the opportunity to go with a fpb 600 or the 400cx for around the same price. Any thoughts? Is the extra 200 watts of power on the 600 worth losing any sonic benefits of cx? Or is the cx so superior sonically that there's no comparison?

Thanks.

According to this Stereophile test results, the Krell FPB600 almost doubled in power going from an 8 Ohm to 4 Ohm load, and then again going down to a 2 Ohm load.

There was no indication looking at the test results to support the claim that this was a bridged amplifier. To the contrary, it said that it could drive any load of any impedance.
