Further information: 15" active subwoofer from SGR Audio in Melbourne. I bought this from an SNA Member back in July/August this year. I now realise that what I was planning to do with it will never eventuate. It has sat in my room exactly where it was placed and it has never been used. It is finished in a mat black crinkle type effect. There are a couple of light marks on the paintwork but I think they could be easily masked. Cabinet is 600x600x1100mm and can be stood up or laid down. Note the size, it is large and it would need a Ute of Flat

"I think Alephs are SS so no "T" SET applies Are they single ended?" Agreed that the 'T' does not apply as the are not Triode driven, however they are very much Class A - SE, below is copied from the manual introduction. As far as I am aware the only Pass Labs that was SE. "Introduction The Aleph 0 is a single ended Class A audio power amplifier, the first product produced by Pass Laboratories. It combines completely new design thought applied to a traditional topology and the experience of twenty five years of amplifier design. This power amplifier flows from a c

I realise that most comments / recommendations are for valve related equipment, also some general recommendations for Pass Labs Aleph. However the best juice/grunt/power I ever had from a SET Amp was with the Pass Labs Aleph 0 mono blocks, which I think I am correct in saying were the only Aleph amps the were single ended. They had about 70 watts per/ch, all in Class A, before switching to Class A/B up to 120 watts per/ch, I can't say what they sounded like in class A/B as in all the years I owned them I never got anywhere near that level. They could drive absolutely an
