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.
Pretty simple…. I’ve had alot of Class D’s in my system. I haventliked any of them till these.
ghdprentice3,144 posts You bought a pair of amps expecting to hate them? Strange approach to putting together a great sounding system. Could you elaborate? Your system, strategy, venue. |
@hilde45 This has apparently been answered by others, but customer feedback suggests the break-in time is real and is about 3 days or so. The amp does not seem to have a 'warmup' time though. |

My wish list: 1. People would only use the words “better than” when referring to specs 2. When referring to sound the would say “I prefer… and then why 3. Amp designers would state their objective… straight wire with gain….low distortion with 2nd harmonic dominant….low distortion with 3rd harmonic dominant …etc….. I think Ralph has said this describes his amp 4. Audio enthusiasts would admit that the best products all sound so good that on any given day, what you preferred yesterday may not be preferred today As for Ralph’s class d amps… is the music vivid and engaging? Are the harmonics rich? Do pianos sound right? How about horns? Is there sibilance? Is the soundstage engulfing? How do cymbals sound? How about drum hit? These are some of the things that will convey to me how the amp sounds and whether I should try it
