In Reply to: RE: Are there any better SS class A amps for under $2000... posted by fstein on April 6, 2016 at 11:41:08:
I had a Pass Aleph 3. Intoxicating, but not able to push quite a range of speakers in any decent sized room.
You can get a used Pass X-150 for just under 2k, and it's a horse (also made later than the Aleph, so capping is more distant).
After a run of amps: Dyna Mk III, SAE 31B, Dyna 410, Dyna 416, Threshold Stasis 3, Pass Aleph 3 over ~20 years, I've stopped looking for about 15 years after I got the X-150 since I don't need anything better.
It's run ML SL-3's, Verify Parsifals, ProAc Tablette's, and Triangle Celius 202's with nary a burp. It just missed a pair of ML CLS IIz's but a friend drove those with an X-150 and it was just fine - however his Aleph 5 did not do very well with the ML's, so he got an X-150.
