Atma-Sphere MA-2 amplifier

Get a sense of what it's like to live with one of the world's best amplifiers by reading Marc Mickelson's excellent review of the most recent evolution of the Atma-Sphere MA-2 Mk3.1 OTL amplifiers in The Audio Beat.

Ralph Karsten continues to improve these remarkable amplifiers. Well done, Ralph!

Ralph's upgrade philosophy is just one of many reasons why I love my OTLs. Congratulations Ralph!

While I would love to own the MA-2's, I will just have to be satisfied being a proud owner of Mk 3.1 MA-1's. ;-) As others have stated here and Marc did in the review, Ralph knows how to make some seriously good amps and I can't think of any amp I have previously owned that can do everything my MA-1's do. The upgrade from Mk 3.0 to Mk 3.1 is substantial and at the price Ralph charges, it is absolutely mandatory! The fact that you also get a new three year warranty puts it into the "great value" and "no brainer" categories. BTW, I also own the Mk 3.1 MP-1 preamp and it is just as good as the amps!! Thanks again Ralph for producing great gear and providing outstanding customer service and support. George
