Anyone Here Have Atma-Sphere Amps?


I find these amps very intriguing and was wondering what people with real experience think. I have read all the reviews
which are generally excellent except for some reason Stereophile has not reviewed them as far as I can tell.
The main question I have is how often if ever do you blow a tube and how long are your tubes lasting. Do you have any quibbles. I would love to find an MA 3 owner as that is one ballsy amplifier. There is no such thing as overkill when it comes to power amps.

Thanx pstores. It certainly seems hard to find someone with a negative comment. I have not had a tube amp since my Stereo 70 days. Plenty of tube preamps including the first Conrad Johnson which I tore out of its chassis mounted it in a new box minus most of the switches, wired it with silver wire and added a Sowter MC transfomer internally. No boredom in my life. It was ugly as hell. 
I looked at a Atma-Sphere amp a few years ago. What I do remember was it looked of very good build quality and was red in color. What I don't remember, was it an integrated or a power amp? What was it's output? And lastly, what was its retail price? Could someone help my failing memory?  ;-)
Thanks, Ralph. I saw them at Audio Perfection in Minneapolis Minn. Probably not far from you.
Driving high impedance speakers the Atma OTLs are among the few best amps I have ever heard or owned. The other amps on this list were at least 5 times the price of the Atma-spheres.
