Lamm 1.2 vs. Pass xa 60.5


Hi

I currently own a pair of pass xa 60.5 driving my vivid g3 speakers. I'm missing some juice out of the speakers (same conclusion reached by stereophile recent review with the same pair). I'm thinking of going with different amps and thought about lamm 1.2 hybrids. Anyone matched those 2 amps ? Any other opinion where to go after the pass 60.5 in the $15-20k budget ?
Thanks

"I missed the emotion which is part in any music."

Can you tell me what the rest of the system was that made you feel this way? Am wondering how you can make this very confident statement without qualifying it further wrt ... everything else.
I know it's somewhat dated, but I'd like to share my experiences about these two brands.
While the Pass XA.5 sounded really good, it's no where close to being musical as the Lamm.
I had XA-160.5 and the XA-100.5 and the Lamm M2.2 side-by-side driving Hansen The Prince V2 and Nova Be, the Lamm always sounded more lively and musical.
I also tried some NOS and like the Amprex Orange Globe and Mullard CV2493 very much.
