Pass Alep2

I have a 3. I called Pass to ask them that very question and was told not to worry about it. They said that I would know when it needed to be sent to them, I would hear the difference and it should be several more years.

I almost get to the decision point already until tonite I saw the ad. to sell Pass X250 with price 2,500$. I don't have experience with Pass X series before but like to mate them with my Alpe P. Want to have the last opinion from all of your guy compare to the Alep2. Price is really comparable and it's new. That why I quite reluctant and can not make a decision.

Thanks for your comment.

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!
