All are truly balanced. I don't believe the Threshold fet/10 is.
The X1 is just better than the Aleph P, IMO, due to power supply & display.
I did like the XP-10 better than the X1, due to improved detail.
I'd get the X1 if $2K is your budget, the best thing about Pass gear is you can always move up easily, there is constant demand on Audiogon.
I traded in my XP-20 to Mark at Reno HiFi, he gave me a great deal!

Thanks so much for your insight. I will keep you guys posted.
