What speakers match well with Atma Sphere?

Thanks for all your suggestions. It seems like the two speakers are evenly split. I'm impressed with the reviews for the Merlins VSM, but I really should hear both speakers. I had classes this weekend, otherwise THE Show and CES would have provided me with the opportunities. I did email Atma-Sphere, but they must be exhibiting in Vegas, as I haven't received a response. Any other suggestions are appreciated.

Happy 2006 to everyone!

I had a stacked pair of Quad ESL 57 that were wired in series/parallel to keep the impedence at 16 ohms. The Atma Sphere 30 stereo amp was magic with 57 Quads.

Since no one responded to my prompt, I will tell you that Ralph Karsten, the owner, designer, inventor of Atmasphere, uses Zu Druids in his personal system. At 12 ohm impedance, they match up nicely with OTLs. I'm told the S-30 is a paticularly good match.

Rosstaman... so what happened?! What did you do? Are ya happy?

Just a late couple of comments, Sdatch makes a good recommend with Coincident. I have the Total Eclipse paired with Ralph's Silver Edition OTLs and I'm a very happy camper.

Heard the Zu Druids powered by a two watter Yomomoto 08S at my local Audio Karma Fest and was very impressed and satisfied. Sweet and dynamic.

About what Macrojack commented, Ralph also has at home Classic Audio Reproductions to the best of my knowledge and they are packed with TAD 15" woofers, tweeters, and huge midrange horns, so in juxtaposition he might well have the best of both worlds for his OTLs IMHO.

Happy Listening!

For those of you using Atma-sphere amps, I recommend you try the RAM/Labs 6AS7GA Roger is selling. They are GE labelled and they do say "Made in the USA" so I doubt they are Russian and I have no idea when they were made. A really fantastic tube with my M-60s. I think he is selling them for $35/pc and as you can impagine EXTREMELY well matched. I don't know if Ralph has tried these or what he thinks of them, but they do sound awfully good.
