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.

dragon_vibe,

In essence that is what I'm doing, but for the low bass I am using 2 JL Audio F-113's subs.

I am glad to hear you find the Zero’s benefit your system.
I have to say that I am surprised that they would make such a difference, considering that you have very efficient speakers to begin with.

gdnrbob,

Bob, I think its a matter of impedance more so than sensitivity. The 16 ohm connection just sounds better than the 8 ohm.

Yep, Ozzy you went from an easy load to an exceptionally easy load. 😊

Hmmm, now I wonder if I should give them a try?
Ozzy, did you get them boxed or naked?
