Tube OTL amp for VAndy 5


Anyone using or heard of these speakers with a Joule or Atma? If so, which one, and what were your impressions?

My local dealer has the 5's, actually the 5A's, hooked up to a pair of M-60's, without any autoformer in between. He likes the sound a lot, has no concerns about lack of bass, no surprise since the Vandy's have the subs.
Don't you live somewhere in PA or NJ? If you don't mind a road trip some weekend, drive up to Selinsgrove in Central PA, right on 11/15, Creative Audio Video, Dale is the owner.
i heard the joule vzn160s on the vandy 5 at last years ces and the combo was fabulous. the right damping in the 160 for the vandy 5s. call judd and talk to him personally.

Atma-Sphere amps excel at bass reproduction. Call Atma-Sphere up and they will give you an informed opinion on the suitability of which amp model is recommended with any given speaker.
Call Jud at Joule Electra. Besides building the highest quality hand built OTL's that kick butt, he is without question one of the finest gentlemen of Hi-End audio.
Thanks, guys. Lots of good info. Next question, aside from Spencer, has anyone compared the 5s with the Merlins, using a Joule or Atma amp?
