Atma-Sphere S30 MKII

Thanks Ralph. I think I'm going to use the M60s as is and just enjoy the music. To my ears your amps and Merlin VSMs are about as good as it gets. Looking forward to the 3.1 upgrade.

how would the s30 work with a 16 ohm load?

Selling an older model s30 was one of my biggest mistakes in 35 years in high end hobby, and I've swapped out a lot. Great amp, if you have enough ventilation in your room.

Rontaylor, the Atma-Sphere S30 should be fine with a 16 ohm load. I've been told that it's ideal loading is 12 ohm and 16 should be no problem. The only possible challenge is if the load drops deeply somewhere along the frequency spectrum. The best answer will come from Ralph at Atma-Sphere. Give him a call him and tell him what speakers you will be using.

From the Atma-Sphere website about the S30:

Output power
30 watts per channel into 8 Ω load
45 watts per channel into 16 Ω load
