The mono Aleph 2s will perform slightly better than the stereo Aleph 5. The increase in power will be hard to discern, but you should notice better stereo separation and somewhat more clarity as the amplifier won't have to work as hard. On the negative side, the 2s take up twice the space, you may have to rework your interconnects/cables and the 2s will definitely produce more heat as well as consume more electricity. Personally, I don't think the sonic benefits would be worth the added costs, but I could easily see where others would disagree. Best of luck.
Moving from Pass Labs Aleph 5 to Aleph 2
Hello - I am looking for feedback on improvements I might experience moving from Aleph 5 (60 watts) to Aleph 2 (100 watts mono blocks). My system consists of Camelot Uther MKIV 24/192 DAC run direct to Aleph 5 powering Audio Physic Virgo II's. I use Harmonic technology thuth link XLR, and Pro 9 speaker cable. Ideas about interconnects and speaker cable is also welcome.
thanks
thanks
