I'm using Pass INT-150 with Montis. Sounds great. INT-150 is essentially X150.5 with volume and input selector.
Pass gear is very good stuff, but 60w is not enough for a CLX. It WILL clip if played at moderate volumes.
For a CLX, I'd aim for 200w minimum, and personally would go for 1000w Sanders Sound Systems ESL monoblocks.
Matter of fact, they have a 'used' pair for sale at $4,500 for both. Even with shipping to the UK, quite the bargain.

I'd snap them up myself, but have all my cash going into the business. That, and the ESL stereo (300w per channel) powering the Monolith panels is doing an awesome job, even when pushed hard, it keeps up. But then, all it drives is the raw panel, no lossy crossover anymore.
