I own the M60-MkII.2's, and I actually prefer the inputs on the front! In my set-up, it makes the access to the interconnects MUCH EASIER! My personal opinion about Atma-sphere amps (besides loving them): I think that they are one of the best bargains in high end audio. I also feel that the amps sound best with the Atma-sphere pre-amps. I also believe that in tube gear, try to get the LOWEST POWER that your speakers will be happiest with. Unneeded power means unneeded expense. Happy Tunes!
Really dumb question about Atmasphere amps
Hi,
Recent upgrades of my system left me really satisfied (AP Virgos, BAT VK-60, Placette passive and an AudioNet ART V2 CDP) and I don't feel a pressuring need to run out and get something better. However, in some distant future I might consider an upgrade to some monoblocks and the Atmasphere amps seem to be very well regarded.
But one thing about them really strikes me as odd and I simply wondered: why do they (at least the MA1 model, I looked at) have their XLR/RCA inputs in the front? Seems very unpractical to me. Must look quite funny too, running your IC from the back of the system to the front of the amp (also unnecessarily increases the length of your ICs). How do you Atmasphere owners cope with that?
