Good impedance match for Atma-Sphere MP3?


Would some of you old hands please help a relative neophyte? I'm looking for an amplifier with XLR option in the $2-4K range (new or used) that will be a good match for the Atma-Sphere MP3. Sophia 1 speakers, Transparent Reference throughout. Thanks very much -- Bill

Hi Bill, the MP-3 will drive any power amp made. I wouldn't worry about the input impedance of the amp.
Have you thought about a matching atma amp?

The only tubes amps I have owned are atma's, (though I have had several solid state amps) and I attribute so much of the magic my system posseses to the atmas, but of course I have no other tube reference point.

I just read a post here the other day that mentioned that the systems he thought sounded best over the years were all OTL's (diiferent brands including Atma) which seems to validate what I am hearing.
Yes, Emaillists, I'd thought of the Atma-Sphere S-30 but was worried that it doesn't have sufficient oomph to handle the Sophia 1s. I suppose the best bet is to arrange an in-home demo (I find listening to equipment at audio stores too confusing). I love my MP3 and would love to find an OTL that would work well with the Wilsons. Thanks for your thoughts.
I would love to use the atma-sphere products...I wish the pre had a remote control though.
