Threshold to Pass upgrade?

I'm thinking of upgrading my Threshold T400 to a Pass Labs amp, either an X350.5 or if I can stretch it, maybe a pair of XA100.5s (the upgrade bug strikes again). The Threshold is now probably around 15 years old. How does it compare to these current Pass Labs amps? The rest of the system is:
Oracle MkV
Grant Fidelity CD1000
Pass X1 and XONO
Talon Raven C

Thanks for any opinions.

Pass will be better, but not $10,000 better. But if you have the money, audio is my favorite hobby to spend it on. :-)

Lots of good amps in that range, and I would first make sure you are happy with/keeping your speakers and then find the perfect match for your final speaker selection.

If you like your Threshold and you're looking for an interim solution(doesn't sound like you are), you may have Jon Soderberg upgrade your T400.
