pass aleph 1.2-speakers to pair w/; 4-6,000

Wloeb: The Aleph 1.2's are the exception to the rule. It is my understanding that Nelson Pass while really liking the Aleph 2's, di not like the 1.2's with the Watt Puppies.

I have used a pair of Aleph 1.2's with the Watt/Puppy 5.1 for several years and it is a very synergistic match. The 2 may be better but the 1.2's do work quite well with the Wilson's. Don't rule the combination out until you have tried it for yourself.

Thiel speakers match very well with Pass aleph amps.
USED Thiel CS7 is in your price range.

brightness? can the aleph's control the bass? correctness of timber? aleph 1.2 is 200watts@8ohms/300@4ohms. the thiel line goes to low # of ohms very low in the low bass?
ANYONE RUN THE big thiels w/ the aleph's???????

For what little it's worth, I own a pair of the Aleph 1.2s and have been using them with Eggleston Andras for the past three years. I find the match to be synergistic and the music more realistic, open, and "airy" then I had expected.

I suspect that ancillary equipment will have a great effect on your results. The rest of my system includes a Rowland Coherence preamp, Cary 306 CD player, and Transparent Reference and Ultra wire.

Good luck -- if nothing else, the 1.2s should be able to wow you for a very long time.
