hi, you just have to try the XA.5 amps from pass labs, pure class A and way more power than the aleph 3. you will get the see through soundstage , but with better dynamics and more controlled bass. a good mach would be the XA60.5 monoblocks, 120 watts into 4 ohms. I dont know of a better sounding solid state amp !!! goodluck, chrissain
