I got to listen to the pass aleph 3 driving a pair of soundlabs with gradients handling the bass. Extraordinary!! The amp simply steps out of the equation and lets music through! I haven't heard cd's sound like that, ever. That little 30 watt thing truly holds its own. We even watched the fifth element using the pass and the sound labs. It was amazing. The soundstage truly wrapped around your head. I was hearing a greater sense of objects and music coming from behind than from most surround systems. I want one for myself!!!
Best used Solid State Amp $1500.00
