RE: Parasound JC1+ has selectable bias

Yes, even though both the Pass and Odyssey are "150-wpc" amps, I find it interesting that the Pass draws 370-watts of power from the AC mains while idle whereas the Odyssey draws 30-watts. That tells me that the Pass is more 'heavily biased' toward Class A operation.
Anyone can do this little experiment with a home power meter. Measure the power draw of your amplifier while it's sitting idle not playing music.
