Speakers for Atma Sphere M60 mk3

Hi ghdprentice! Thanks.... I love the Elipsas SE. Today I have a Mark Levinson 532 with great dynamics (2 x 400 W) and that's why I am curious about the M60s ability to drive such a speaker....and they are only 4 ohms.

I think you should look for speakers that are High in Efficiency with an 8 ohm or higher impedance.

I currently use my M60s with Quad ESL 57 and 63 speakers. Previous to that I used AudioKinesis Jazz Modules. In fact someone is selling a pair on AC right now. It's a great match with the M60s, 92 dB, and impedance stays above 8 ohms. As for driving a 4 ohm speaker you can use a set of the Speltz autoformers between the speaker and the amp. Depending on how you configure them the amp will see a 2x, 3x, or 4x the speakers impedance.

I tried the MA1s (bigger brother of M60) with 4 ohm speakers, including the top of the line (at the time) Dynaudio Consequence. No good.

8 ohm - yes quite good. Varying.

Spelz autoformers - I tried and was not convinced. Veils the image a bit and contradicts the OTL idea.

My current speakers have Impedance: 16 ohms nominal, stays between 13 and 17 ohms above the bass impedance peaks, and Efficiency: 92 dB/1 watt.

This is clearly health food for my Atma amps. Their sonic performance rises to new heights. But results could be suprising. If you can try with the Elipsas, great.
