Atma-sphere S-30, any users out there?

Terrific amplifier for the money. Actually a terrific amp period. If you have high efficiency speakers and a small room it is probably plenty powerful. I doubt that many amps in its price range can match its speed and frequency response.

Tireguy, If your speakers are 99DB, the BEST SET I have ever heard are the Wavelength Cardinal X1's. Yes I am biased, and I have a pair for sale, cause I do not any longer have efficient enough speakers. I have had the S-30's in my system, and they were not as magical as the 300B tube. This MHO. 12.5 watts would put you in music heaven. Check out Steve Rochlins review on these amps. He compare's too the 90K onagku's.

Good luck in your search

Nealhood- I do have the db99 speakers and really enjoy them, they sound good even with poor quality amplification. They sound great with good amplification, they can also be dialed into the room very easily with the bass booster dial. They seem to do everything right and NOTHING wrong, they have a small foot print. Break-in was a little rough at times, but overall I can't complain about the sound at all, I am not sure how they would sound in a really big room(mine is 30x18- not set-up ideally, but very capable of producing good sound) or a really small room, but they are producing great music in this room. The bass is tight, fast, very accurate and articulate, the midrange blends very well with the tweeter and both are detailed and lively(but by no means in your face)- they even have some of the air I was affraid I was going to lose when I left the maggies. They do not have as much air as the maggies did(with out a doubt that speakers strength) but there is also a ribbon tweeter that will be coming out for the 99's this summer which I think will be the answer.

So tell me about the pass F1 I can't seem to find much information about them. That may be the amplifier for me!
