LIKE I SAID,MY BIGGEST CONCERN IS THE POOR BASS I'VE READ ABOUT.HOW COULD THE ALEPH-3 GET SUCH A GREAT REVIEW IN STEREOPHILE,TIE WITH THE KRELL-600 FOR AMP OF THE YEAR THEN I READ ITS NOT SO GREAT AFTER ALL.TALK ABOUT CONFUSION!!! Ejlif please respond and anyone else.

My concern has diminished concerning the bass.It wont be the best avaliable but if the bass was poor or even average I dont feel it would have gotten a class A rating or won amp of the year along with the Krell 600.Also you better watch out if you plan on using this amp with a passive pre.It wont cut it.The aleph 3 input impedence is too low.
