I love my tube OTL to death (not an Atmasphere but from a highly respected design engineer) so if Atmasphere can engineer a Class D that sounds as good or better than a quality tube OTL, that would be AMAZING!
CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS
CLASS D AMPLIFIER TECHNOLOGY HAS FINALLY ARRIVED TO OUTPERFORM ALL OTHER TOPOLOGIES
The Amplifier is the New Class D Mono Amps using GaN Fets in a unique Patented
Circlotronic output stage…Design by Ralph Karsten of ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS
Rated at 100 watts 8 ohms and 200 watts 4 ohms with low distortion across the full audio bandwidth with excellent noise characteristics
I have been using ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS MA-1 3.0 with all factory upgrades along with NOS 6NS7 Input Tubes for many years
The New ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS CLASS D has outperformed my MA-1 3.0 in all areas…the resolution and transparency are simply an Amazing Accomplishment
Also I sold my MP-3 mk 3.0 and purchased the New MP-3 mk3.3
In my Audio opinion I believe the ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS CLASS D MONO AMPS used with the MP-3 mk3.3 will offer one of the most transparent sounding electronics combinations to date…only using the MP-1 mk3.3 will offer more performance
I have used other High End Amplifiers in my system and the ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS CLASS D MONO AMPS outperformed all of them as well

@ltmandella maybe we can get @atmasphere to opine on whether (or how) one could bi-amp the class-D on the bottom (woofer) with your tube gear on MR/Tweeter? I have heard many great things about Ralph’s gear. There also seems to others doing some great work based upon those Class-D systems..,. So hopefully the high end market can allow for a few people doing bespoke gear to exist in respective geographic areas. Are they all basing it off of the standard “Bruno parts”? |
