Pass Labs or Devialet

Having thoughts on two integrated amps.  Devialet 220 or a Pass Labs INT-250.

At the moment the speakers  are the Pioneer S-ex1’s with a pair of Rels G1’s subs.

Using PSAudio Direct Stream with Roon and OPPO 205 for discs.

My other smaller room is a separate system the Kii threes, but that is another topic.

Any thoughts?

sandydennis11 OP
I decided to buy both an added a pair of Tads CR-1’s.
Easy as *** to drive these 88db Tads and mostly 4ohm.
Just one grey area at 30-40hz where there is a combination of 4ohms and 48 degrees of -phase angle, which combined will look to the amp as around <2ohms.
But were talking low organ/double bass/electric synthesizer lows here, and this is where the Pass will probably shine through better, but even better still for that area a Gryphon Diablo 300 or 120 integrated.
