Pass Aleph3 vs. X150.5, AtmaSphere MA1

Has anyone compared the Aleph3 to either the X150.5 or MA1 in a system that allowed both amps to work at their best?

It drives the 4 ohm load of JM Lab Mezzo Utopia speakers. The amp sounds a bit limited in output current. Due to this reasom I am coinsidering a potential upgrade to the Aleph 1.2 monoblocks . Or shall I upgrade the speakers to the 8 ohms Alto Utopia Berrylium which is a better load for the Aleph 3.0 and then keep it. Not quite comment on what you brought up for discussion but it has something in common ....
