Mono block suggestions


I am in the process of upgrading my amplifier(actually adding my 6th and 7th channel)the last 2 channels will act as my fronts for high performance 2 channel. Because of a lack of space in my component stand it would be very convenient to upgrade to mono blocks,and sit them right next to the front speakers. I have a 5 channel 125 watt amp. I would like to find 100-150 watt mono's. I am interested in the Pass Aleph 2's. Can I get any feed back on these,and also can any one recommend any other mono's that would fall in this range. I don't want to spend more than 2500.00(used) I'm asking for other recommendations because I'm not sure I can touch the Pass Aleph's for 2500.00 or even 3K. My front speakers are Martin Logan Clarity's. 2 channel sound now with the Acurus 125X5 is amazing.(I am also using the new Martin Logan Sub) Since I need 2 more channels for eventual 7.1,I want that final staple for my system. I would appreciate any suggestions. BTW-I'm limiting my search to solid state. Thanks

Eldragon- "Don't go with obvious" So without ever hearing them,or hearing of them I should go buy these? I agree there is alot of hype in this hobby,but one things for sure. When you buy equipment from a reputable company(Krell Pass,Levinson etc) especially second hand. You can always turn around and get your money back if it doesn't meet your expectations. "R.E.Designs aren't heard by your Stereophilereadin Joe Audiophile" So where exactly can I here these amps to form my opinion? I firmly believe there are alot of smaller companies who make tremendous audio gear,but without reviews,opinions,and being able to see and hear it for yourself,how do you know???
Krelldog appreciate the clarification, but I still don't know why anyone in the business would say monos are only for appearance or rack configuration. There technical differences between them.
You know I just recived my stratos monoblock extreme
they are beautiful and they sound unbelievable.IMO
the sound I am hearing is comparable to a $12000
ampi know. This amps are bargain for their price, this
amp will be on my possesion for a long time.
Hi,
