Speakers for Pass Aleph 3

It is bass ackwards, Cornfedboy (though I'm really more of a mid's type). I'm replacing an ancient pair of B&W DM-2000s. While I was looking at the bewildering number of options, I got a great deal on the Pass. I was half-hoping that the amp would force me to narrow it down (1-2K). I'm leaning toward the Totem 1's, but I'm thinking there's a better match out there. Thanks all for the input.

I myself am a huge fan of the B&W line ... all I've ever owned. The CDM and Nautalis mini monitors are both super choices ... though the N805 may want more power? I understand that the Aleph is capable of huge current so it might be a great match. Certianly well worth the effort to audition.

You might consider a pair of original QUAD ESLs or a pair of 63s. They have the resolving power that reveals the beauty of the Pass. I am using a Pass 5 with my ESLs now. After all, the QUAD is the speaker that the B&Ws emulate in a more easily manufactured, supported and distributed package.

I use Pass Aleph 3 with both (not at same time !) B&W matrix 804's (w/upgraded caps in crossovers) and QUAD ESL63 USA's....a great match !
