Disappointment with Pass Labs - I'm looking for something else


Hello, I am new to this forum and my mother tongue is not English, so please forgive me if I make mistakes as I use a translator.

I recently bought an XA30.8 and an XP12. I was very happy but as time went by I began to not feel comfortable with the sound.
After doing many tests, I find that the XA30.8 sounds very very sweet but actually too much. I find it to be a loosely defined amp, somewhat muddy and lacks a lot of air and grip. The soundstage is very closed.

The XP-12 is the worst of the two. It is a previous that removes a lot of resolution and information, without transient attacks and sunken mid frequencies. Instead it brings warmth.

Has anyone of you found the same?

If you ask me, I have a Klipsch Cornwall and a dCS BArtok.

Now I want a capable amp, forceful, something warm, decisive, airy and with a great soundstage.

At first I thought of changing my XA30.8 for X250.8, and changing the XP-12 for a second-hand Audio Research Ref5. I am afraid of this change and continue with Pass, since I can go back to the same thing a bit.

On the other hand I have thought of going for a Luxman 900 combo, since it has very good reviews and from what I have read it could be the winning ticket.

How about a VanAlstine? It might pair well with Klipsch. I have had a Synergy 450 for a number of years, which I loved, and just upgraded to a pair of his DVA 850 monblocks. VanAlstine pices are most reasonable IMHO. 
You understand the merits of a Class A circuit and have a speaker that permits it.

If you are prepared to make a step in the direction of a valves (i.e. towards the arrival point vs. the journey to eventually get there) and want to simplify your system by moving to an integrated solution and with the punch and transient speed of SS, then I would strongly suggest the Octave V 70 Class A with the Super Black Box.  Pure heaven!

Soooo many responses!
I think you're on the right track. The Luxman 900 amps are amazing.
I think that you may find Luxman too warm and lacking that last bit in detail, from what you say about your Pass.  Vitus amps may be good for you, if they are available in your country.  They overcome some of the negatives you describe in the Pass Amps, and they do this without ever sounding too 'dry' and over-analytical in a way the De Agostini can sometimes do.   The SIA-025 integrated is Class A and sound excellent, but if this is over your budget the Reference range has an very good integrated and a pre/power option.
