Like I said we all can’t be wrong. It’s not just my opinion. But some of the best spec’d gear sounds terrible. Anyway you slice it. Just not my opinion. At the end of the day…. It’s how does it sounds when the switch is flipped. That’s truly the end game. At that point spec’s don’t mean squat. I have seen some specs from these amps. And am not to worried about that. As they eclipse any amp under $10,000 I’ve had in my system. I can’t say under $16,0000 yet because I haven’t been able to put the Pass Labs XA60.8 or a couple others.
And yes these are just my opinions.
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.

First of all, there is no right or wrong, they are opinions, not facts. It doesn't matter if it isn't just your opinion. There isn't any strength in numbers when it comes to opinions- why? because there is NO RIGHT OR WRONG! Doesn't matter how many people agree with you- there will always be those who don't. |
You do realize this is a circular conversation you don’t have to keep repeating right? Let’s move on the more reviews and view points others that have heard these amps have to say. I am interested in what others that have actually listen to them. See if they are the same, close or opposite my opinions. It’s nice to hear others experiences in their systems. And what systems they have. I am really interested in Tinears thoughts. As his system will be extremely revealing. |
You are correct and folks that have pursued the best sound possible for decades… while may have somewhat different tastes will completely agree with you. If @kuribo likes tinny dead sound, like he said… it’s up to him. But, for folks without a lot of experience and that want a system that has an emotional connection with the user that mirrors real music, then specifications are not going to get you there. I learned this quickly over fifty years ago. |
