Atma's are good but overpriced....400 watt Peachtree is 90% there and costs under $3,000....I'm hearing details I never heard with my tube and class AB amps that I love. Every piece of music I play sounds "new" with all this added detail...very exciting....but I still love my 845 SET Tubes.
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
Today I picked up my Atma-Sphere Class D Amps. These aren’t broken in yet. And they are simply amazing. I’ve listen to a lot of High End Class D. Some that cost many times what Atma-Sphere Class D costs. I wasn’t a fan of any of them. But these amps are amazing. I really expected to hate them. So my expectations were low. The Details are of what I’ve never heard from any other amps. They are extremely neutral. To say the realism is is extremely good is a gross understatement. They are so transparent it’s scary. These amps just grab you and suck you into the music. After I live with them some and get them broken in. And do some comparisons to some other high end Amps Solid State, Tubes and Class D’s, also in other systems I’ll do a more comprehensive review. But for now, these are simply amazing amps.. Congrats to Ralph and his team. You guys nailed on these.

@ddafoe Which Pass amp do you have and how does it compare to the GaN amp? |
@mbmi Have you heard the Atma-Sphere GaN amp? |
So, you have completed a full costing analysis on all of the necessary inputs (defined very wide) in order to make this comparison? Others may suggest the exact opposite of what you suggest - that Peachtree is utter junk and something that a person with more dollars than sense would consider buying. Because 90% there is sufficient? What I do know is that I’d rather pay way more than 5,400 for a 100% "there" than 3,000 for something not quite "there" and possibly has unresolved component or design issues. Why on earth would anyone settle for less at these price points? I buy for keeps, not to experiment. |
