Class A amplifier choice, need suggestions


What is your favorite class A amp and why? There are many here on Audiogon... Levinson, Krell, Pass Labs, Plinius and an occaisional Accuphase A50V. I am driving Proac Response 3.8s (88dB efficiency). I recently auditioned a Pass Aleph 5 and was stunned by the presentation at only 60wpc.

Your input is much appreciated!

I also was stunned with the Aleph 5. I initially heard it on a pair of Wilson Watt/Puppy 6's and was amazed. It's the only class A amp I've owned so I can't compare it to others, but I've had Krell KAV250a before and it blows it away.

I've heard Levinsons at my dealers before and at the price of a used Pass Aleph, I'll take the Pass.
