Atma Sphere Class D mono blocks
I’ve only had them in my rig for a day, but I am very impressed. It blows the doors off my Willsenton R8. And I’m simply running balanced direct from my Pontus II.
The bass is soooo much grippier and textured. I thought my soundstage was more or less limited by my Tecktons and my room boundaries. I was wrong. The AS’s fill the room with energy that gave me goose bumps and pushed to soundstage in every direction. I finally have speakers that disappear. I’ve been told they need 200hrs of break in. Vocals are gorgeous. I’m not missing tubes one bit. I feel like I’ve finally pierced above the clouds and my system is performing at a true “audiophile” level.
I’m going to demo the Gold Note stack next weekend.
