I own an Aleph 3 and I can tell you that it doesn't play loud. I personally don't care because it plays loud enough for me. With my system 91 db speakers it will play to about 90 db without distortion, in a large room, which is not that loud (definately loud enough to annoy everyone in the house) What you will get with the Aleph 3 is sound that the McCormack or most amps for that matter can't compare to. Buy one used and try it for yourself. I'd bet you would be willing to trade the last bit of loudness for the lovely sound that you get with the Aleph 3.
Could someone explain the Pass Aleph 3??
Hi all. I'm learning and learning, but there's still something I just don't get. How can an Aleph 3, with only 30wpc, power the mains in a home theater system? What will an explosion sound like in the Matrix (yes, I'll admit, I like it loud, I like to 'feel' those explosions!) with only 30wpc? I plan on having a separate 3ch amp for the center and rears. Can I buy the Aleph 3 and use it for music (sometimes loud dance music, with big bass peaks) and for movies and still get good effects? For about $1100-$1200, seems like the best amp for the $$ in my range, but am nervous about the very low power. Someone please educate me!
