100% accurate. Ralph's ATMASPHERE tube monoblocs were exceptionally smooth and dynamic. Quite often VMPS users apply tubes to the Mids and Tweeters, and SS to the woofers to a reported great result.
I have heard the ATMASPHERE Monoblocs on the RM30, RM v60, and RM50 Bipolar Dual Array. They all sounded spectacular.
Regarding the Pass Labs, I have heard VMPS customers using them, but they often suggest they are slightly warm. This is of course relative and does not take into consideration the rest of the system and room.
