Pass First Watt models ... confused


I'm curious about the First Watt products. I'm a very happy owner of a Pass x250.5 AB amp but interested in experiencing full class A. No plans to sell my less than 1 year old x250.5, and I'm not rich so I won't be sinking cash into the exorbitant prices of a new XA series. A used Aleph is a possibility, but those are getting fairly old and I wonder about maintenance issues.

Therefore I am looking at the reasonably-priced First Watt line from Nelson. But I'm quite confused by all the different models. Can anyone help clarify this puzzle for me? Thanks.

This is very thoughtful and reasonable feedback. Thanks and I will read up on them. My speakers are the older B&W Matrix 803 series 2. 8 ohm speakers, 90 db sensitivity. Keep the feedback coming if anybody has anything to add.

"I also owned the Aleph J2. It sounded good."

Did you mean the Aleph J or the First Watt J2?
