Pass Alep2

If you have to have 250 watts, the X250 is good. If you can drive your speakers with 100 watts, the Aleph 2's are leaps and bounds better. If you don't believe me, just call Pass Labs and ask them what they think. Did you read my post above about what Pass Labs uses to compare all their new products to? That info came from the President of Pass Labs and is not speculation on my part. The Aleph 2's are amps that you buy and never sell. What more could you want?

Thank for the advice. Base on my speaker and my listening preference, Alep 2 would be my choice. I have no doubt about the post that you mentioned on Pass lab use Alep2 to compare all product. Just been pushed by the price and the age of X250.

Thank so much.

I have 2 Aleph 5's I passively bi-amp Nautalus 802's and they sound wonderful. I think Alephs are some of the best sounding amps around. Inefficent, can't handle difficult speaker loads, and will double your electric bill, but wonderful sounding amps. I also have a feeling they won't last forever 'cause they run so hot. Hopefully Nelson will still be around a while to repair them!
