What after Aleph 3, need more juice?


Bought Watt/Puppy 5.1, Aleph 3 isn't up to task in my new bigger room. Love Aleps but need more power. Any suggestions please? Maybe i should sell W/P and buy other speakers to match my amp...?

hmmm...? W/P 5.1, are 4ohm, Aleph 3 is 60wpc into 4ohm! How BIG is your room...? If Aleph's 60watt (class A) wont do, you need more than a 100-200wpc in AB. Maybe Plinius 100 MkIII with 100wpc in class A? You ought to sell them and for the money get the Living Voice OBX.
I have used this speaker as my reference for six years. It has been my experience that they need a lot of power to sound their best. I have used a Krell KSA-150, BAT VK-500 with BAT-PAK, Pass Aleph 1.2 monoblocks (Aleph 2 is a better match for some reason) and the Pass X-600 monoblocks. The best match of the bunch seems to be the X-600's. They really make this speaker sing. I have a feeling that you can't go wrong with either the Pass X-250 or X-350 either.
A quick note to agree with Kkursula, the Living voice range are wonderful, sensitive, musical speakers. I'd go for the Avatars, cheaper, more room friendly and I prefer the sound. They sound magical with my Aleph 3 and Graaf pre
In my opinion, Aleph 2 should sing w/p5.1 much better in the bigger room than Aleph 3. However if you would like to add more dynamic and bass authority without sacrificing too much top-end sweetness, X-250 and X-350 could be the candidates. I used to have a pair of Aleph 2 and was trying to match them up with either w/p or Genesis G-500 (w/ 500W active woofer). I ended up chose G-500 because of its build-in active woofer providing more bass authority. I was pretty enjoying Aleph 2/G-500 combo. Aleph's are absolutely outstanding amps, but just try not to match them with low efficient speakers.

Joeabrams: Just wondering what kind of preamp that you are using right now?
