analogluvr,
I’ve been curious about the Atmospheres.
I have a 3 disc LP set of Theodorakis’s “Canto General” that Atmosphere produced, and I found the engineering to be disappointing. It has been muddy, and there has been no bass to speak of. I have yet to listen to it in the new environment with the sub. Maybe it will sound better.
As for setup, I run the signal through the preamp, then into the Velodyne servo, which splits the signal and sends above 70 to the Futtermans and below 70 to a 300 watt ss amp within the servo and then to the sub, which is also connected to the servo by another line that as I believe they say in their literature “digitally corrects for phasing” in order to reduce distortion from that source.
By cutting off the signal to the Altecs below 70, it gives them much less work to do and they sound clearer.
When I go to shows, the way I would put it is that I almost never hear anything that I would prefer, and never ever hear anything that I would prefer that’s within 300% of what I have spent on my system.
Nice to meet you. It’s nice to know that there is somebody out there who thinks and hears similarly. By hearing, I mean that my ears, from an early age, grew accustomed - maybe trained is the word - to hearing audio a certain way. My system no doubt sounds very colored to many, but it suits me fine.
