I have owned both the Aleph 3 at 30 watts and the 2s. I upgraded to the 2s from the 3 mostly for more power. The power difference was not that much, a little better bass. I did actually prefer the sound of the 3 however overall. I kept the 2s since I wanted the extra power. If you can get by with 30 watts the 3 has to be one of the greatest buys in all of audio for around 900.00 used.
