I am deciding and comparing Aleph 3 and 5.
Both takes 250-300W power. Aleph 3 is 30W/ch and 5 is 60W/ch. 5 is taller than 3.
It puzzles me that the power consumption of Aleph 5 is just slightly more than that of Aleph 3.
I am wondering about the difference between their sound and their design.

There was a pass article where almost all the amplifier were compared (in tabular form) specification wise. I mean power consumption, power output, topology, feedback etc. I cant remember where I saw/read that. Will search and see if I can find it.

Aleph is an Aleph is an Aleph ....... only exception being Aleph J , as slightly different beast (by Papa's words - his fave and probably best of entire series)
difference between them being number of output pairs , rails voltage and AC gain ( practically current contribution of Aleph CCS in output)

Aleph 5 is aleph 3 with more output mosfets, higher voltage rails and a bigger chassis. Just build aleph 5 and you want aleph 3 take out some output mosfets and reduce rail voltage.
If I had easy to drive 8 ohm speakers and don’t listen extremely loud I would choose aleph 3.
I have 87db 6 ohm 3-way speaker’s and listen loud so I choose F5 turbo

I hope ggould's query has been answered, so posting little offtopic question.
Does anyone know an article where some pass amplifiers had specifications like circuit topology, gain, output power etc. in neatly arranged tabular form ? I searched almost all pass articles. But could not find it.
Thanks.

My underlying question is why Aleph 5 consumes so little power (300W), compared to Aleph 3 (250W).
This makes me doubt that if Aleph 5 is truly a Class-A design.
Thank you, Nelson!!! It is an honor that you replied my thread.
When will Aleph 3 and Aleph 5 leave Class A respectively?
At low impedance one side or another will shut off or clip, and as a practical matter
this figure is slightly higher than rated output.
