Pass XA160 or Rowland 302 for Eidolon Diamonds

I have Diamonds on order and am in the market for a good solid state amp. Considering the Pass XA 160 but also have read good feedback on the JRDG 302 (specifically with Eidolons). Front end is a Wadia 861 direct feed to the amp via MIT 350 reference cables. Speaker cables are MIT 850. Also use Hydra 8 PLC.

TIA for your opinions.

Jtinn, the Tenor 300HPM is on a different league -- that should be compared against the JRDG 301 monoblocks which retail for 30 grand. How would the JRDG 302 stach up against the Tenor 75 watter? That should be a more fair comparison.

Kurt, I haven't heard the newer Classe CA series of amplifiers. I've heard a pair of Eidolons with the older Omicron and found it to be a bit dark sounding. I should audition the CA series though.
