I've listened to quite a few ( X, XA ) and in my personal opinion, the Aleph series is still the best sounding gear out there. Depends on the speaker load, of course, but connected to a high sensitive one, they are class of it's own.
I actually have my Pass Aleph 30 is driving average efficiency (not high efficiency) speakers in a 12'x17' room with plenty of volume. Unless your room is huge or your speakers are super demanding, there is plenty of power for moderately loud volumes. Most normal listening levels use only a few watts anyway.
