I wanted to build a Aleph clone that can hopefully drive speakers with 1.5 Ohm impedance
Aleph concept isn't optimized for that sort of loads
build some other type of amplifier, say with complementary source follower stage
BA3 with appropriate rails value, for instance
me 2Thread isn't dead, I'm slowlybuilding the Aleph J (but not hot-rodded yet) - I wonder what will become of UltraMu @Nelson Pass
Thank you for the comment. I know my idea doesn't sound sane, but it could be fun.Aleph concept isn't optimized for that sort of loads

I am intrigued by the fact that you used the word "optimised", not "impossible", but is it doable? or would I have the fire brigade racing down the road as soon as I turn it on?
Can it be done, even if it is not optimised? or it would sound so horrible that I shouldn't even bother attempting, even just for the fun of it.
I shall be grateful eternally to have you share your experience and wisdom.
just make it insanely big and thus hot, and it'll drive 1R5
look for Aleph 0S ......... that one was better suited for tough loads than later gen

Glad that you did not say it is impossible, I like the word insane.
It is interesting that you mentioned 0s, I looked up the specs a few days ago when one showed up on the local ads, that goes to 160W at 2 ohm! I made him an offer but unfortunately we couldn't agree on a deal.
