Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design


I just purchased a used OTL Atma-Sphere M-60 mono blocks that I have sent to Atma-Sphere to be upgraded to the current model 3.3 and I also added the option of a higher quality power supply and V caps.

I have sold my old trusted Eggleston Andra 2’s speakers and have built some monitors using Aurum Cantus ribbons (102db) and Aurum Cantus midwoofers (90db) that are both rated as 8 ohm nominal. I have a DEQX Premate and will be crossing over to (2) JL Audio F-113 subs at 80hz.

Currently I am using a solid state high power stereo amp (Pass Labs) that I used with the Andra 2’s.

The Atma-Sphere M-60 is rated at 60 watts class A and is said to work better with higher impedance loads.

It will probably be a few weeks until I get the M-60 and was hoping someone could provide opinions of what to expect.

I listen to late 60 early 70’s classic rock music mostly. Sometimes loud.

My long awaited M-60's have finally been shipped!

I should have them middle of next week.

My MP-3 3.3 shipped on Friday. I'll have it Thursday.
My M60s are 3.1 and I'll send those in later this year. Gonna be a long 5 days!

bigboltz,

That's Great!

Mine were also shipped but Ralph said the tubes in the unit are not so good but usable. So, I ordered some NOS from Russia and China but who knows when they will arrive?

According to the Fed Ex tracking (at this time), my amps are to arrive on Tuesday. I have a doctors appointment that day so I probably won't be able to use them until Wednesday.

Not to sound rude, but why didn't you get some tubes from Ralph?
I only got into this recently, so I don't know much regarding tubes.
Are the Russian and Chinese tubes better? I have read about tube rolling and would like to learn more.
