Pass Labs Aleph Question

Was thinking of trying out the 100 wpc aleph 2's with Dunlavy 4a's. I've heard these amps are some of the most natrual sounding amps out there and was wondering how well they performed in the low frequency area. Are they bass shy or can they be authoritative? How do they sound with complex music ? Rock? Thanks

I am using an Aleph 30 to drive the woofers in Zu Definition Pros. For 40Hz up I use a Red Wine Audio Clari-T with only 6 watts of output. I have found that you can alter the ratio of investment between amplification and speakers if the latter are very efficient. I'm driving $10K worth of speaker bi-amped with an $1100 amplifier investment and no compromise whatsoever. This provides better results than you will ever get driving $5K worth of speakers with $5K worth of amps.

One of the classic Aleph amps for difficult loads is the 0 mono Series. With it's 3 gain staiges it really 'bites'. That's what I like so much much about these tough little amps. Only 2 ways:
