Aesthetix Atlas + Calypso

In the spirit of full disclosure I have the Atlas amp with the black face plate listed for sale. I have moved from the Standard Calypso and Atlas to the Signature version of each over the last few months, hence the Standard Atlas is for sale. I was very happy with the Standard Calypso and Atlas but the upgrade bug is ever present so I moved to the signature versions of each. The Aesthetix combo does an excellent job of driving the challenging load of my Martin Logan Summits. I have owned Pass Labs, Rogue and Audio Research in the past and prefer Aesthetix by a wide margin.

Hi Sgunther

Which Pass Labs and Audio Research dod you own before and how does the Aesthetix combination differ from them?

What speakers are you driving?

Thanks

I had the Pass Labs Aleph 5 and Audio Research VS 110 driving Audio Physic Virgo speakers and the Rogue M-180 driving the Martin Logan Summits. I can not really comment on the difference between Atlas and Pass/Audio Research because they were driving different speakers. The Atlas exceeded Rogue in every way but I do believe the challenging efficiency and impedance curve of the Summits played a part. There are many reviews of the Atlas that will give you a better idea than I can.
