Pass labs krell parasound amps


Hello, Looking for feedback on the best sound and reliability of these amps, how do they compare to one another. Looking to spend 5-6k on used amp from these choices: Pass Labs x250.8, Krell Duo 300xd, Parasound jc5 or Mcintosh Mc312.

I have Mark Levinson no526 preamp and Revel 228be speakers and like a very open, transparent sound with deep soundstage. 

Thanks for your response.

I'm using a Coda #8 V1. I was using it with a Holo Audio Serene KTE preamp with excellent results but now have it paired with a new BAT VK-80 Tube preamp. It's a magical pairing especially with my Magnepan speakers! The V1 amp has heatsinks for a 400-watt amp (Very cool running) but is a 150-watt Class A/B with the first 18 watts Class A and a 10-year warranty and 5-year transferable warranty. 40 output transistors, 150 AMPS peak current and a massive 3Kva toroidal transformer. The amplifier can be upgraded by Coda free of charge (Minus shipping costs) to a V2 at 250 watts into 8 ohms or a V3, 400 watts into 8 ohms. All these power levels Double into 4 ohms. Highly recommended amp.
