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.

I post info to inform and serve......why so aggressive in response? If you don’t like my info, just ignore it. When you take your ego sword out and start swinging, you are not in a high vibration.....Do you love yourself, do you love me? We are the same. I have info that some people find worthwhile. If you do not find my info worthwhile.....then that is fine......but why FIGHT about it? Have I said a bad word against anyone? Is this a band of fan boys defending their turf? Please look in the mirror. There is no turf.....there is no one that owns a thread. Everything can be said by anyone. Threads meander all over the place.....and they should, as that is how we learn stufff. More opinons (especially by people who have listened to stuff)....the better. Of course, the forum rules apply.....and to everyone.

Have a blessed weekend.

No fighting for turf going on here, just pointing out your very poor form in posts. Your very poor form in making recommendations when you havent heard what you are recommending.

@tinear123,

   Very very nice system…..  Can’t wait to hear your take. Those Coincident Amps are one of my Favorite 300b and with the right speakers are simply awesome. 
 

    I wasn’t able to put the amps against the XA 60.8’s today. Friend had an emergency. But I did spend a few hours at the Dealer. He really enjoyed them. He said he was shocked how dynamic they are and how they grabbed the Magnepans. They had total control over a speaker the dips to 2 ohms and measures out 84.5 db . Magnepan states 86 db… Some HIFI reviews state actual specs around 85. He said most 100 watt amps can’t do that. The soundstage was yuge. Bass was perfect. Accurate and clear. Pianos crisp and real. Cymbals sparkle and brushes defined. The music was accurate and true to all aspects. Which in itself is very impressive. The Maggie’s weren’t in the room. You couldn’t pinpoint them across the entire back of the room. Am sure if they were box type traditional speakers you’d clearly hear one over the other as you transverse the back of the room. These are very transparent and organic at the same time. Not bright on Maggie’s at all. Or any harsh leading edges. The attack and decay was what it should be as well. It just doesn’t do anything offensive or bad. Just for fun I cranked them up to see if I could shake the amps. They never broke a sweat. Never got warm, Never strained to control the Maggie’s. And they rocked the house.

I dunno about others on this esteemed audio forum , but I'm sure something could be arranged elsewhere.

@noske I was referring to independent measurements, such as those performed by John Atkinson for Stereophile. Should have made that clearer.
