Hello.
I'm thinking about building a Pass amp. Rumor has it that my speakers very much enjoy being driven by tube amps, but I'm not quite there yet. I built a pair of the Redux Amp Camp Amps over Thanksgiving and had a nice time.
From looking around here, seems like the Aleph series is closer in sound to a tube amp, so I'm leaning that way, but thought I would ask y'all. Please correct me if I'm wrong.
The speakers are the ProAc Response 2.5. 86dB/W/m, 8 ohm. The room is not large, but not small, and I've gotten the room to start sounding pretty good. Currently using a Naim Nait XS, 60 W into 2 at 8 ohm. Using a Bluesound Node as source / DAC.
Listen to all kinds of music, but not much 'hard rock.' Listening to Norah Jones' album "...'Til We Meet Again (Live), I really like the openness, transparency and clarity of the instruments. Beck's "Hyperspace" also gets some listening. For examples...
Depending on which SPL app I use, at the listening seat, at the loudest volumes, can be mid 70s or mid 80s dB... Suffice it to say, if I lived in an apartment, I would have some upset neighbors.
I really like the sound that I get from what I've got. It was suggested that I get a separate power supply for the Nait; the flat cap or high cap. I'm just thinking about trying something different before doing that...
Thanks for your input.
Dave.

Thanks.
My speakers are definitely a little low on sensitivity for the Amp Camp Amps, even in dual mono.
I noticed the F5m is in stock in the DIY store; I'll look into that.

Hello, my F5m played a friend's KEF LS50's without issue, my guess is that we were listening in the low 80s quite a bit. Jason Molina, Lee Morgan, Tool. Not a small room, not a big room- maybe 12ft x 16ft. The sensitivity rating looks similar to your ProAcs. The LS50 does have a lower impedance so we may have been pulling more watts out the F5m. Hope this helps.
