Yes, I would say the main difference between the AGDs and the Atmas is that the AGDs do have more bloom tube-like sound.
Atma-Sphere Class D… Amazing
Today I picked up my Atma-Sphere Class D Amps. These aren’t broken in yet. And they are simply amazing. I’ve listen to a lot of High End Class D. Some that cost many times what Atma-Sphere Class D costs. I wasn’t a fan of any of them. But these amps are amazing. I really expected to hate them. So my expectations were low. The Details are of what I’ve never heard from any other amps. They are extremely neutral. To say the realism is is extremely good is a gross understatement. They are so transparent it’s scary. These amps just grab you and suck you into the music. After I live with them some and get them broken in. And do some comparisons to some other high end Amps Solid State, Tubes and Class D’s, also in other systems I’ll do a more comprehensive review. But for now, these are simply amazing amps.. Congrats to Ralph and his team. You guys nailed on these.

@mglik , you may need more time to give a final judgement. Do you have now both, Atmasphere and AGD monos, which AGDs? The most transparent sound i have ever heard comes from my 5 watts SET tube amp. So i don't think that transparency is a distinguished feature of solid state amps. Do you perceive that AGDs are less harsh and more open? Thanks |
@fredag 100W with 8Ω, 200 with 4Ω. Current limit protection will kick in with lower impedance loads- as long as not to full power the amp will double its output power, but will reach its protection limit at about 250 Watts. |
@atmasphere Thanks! How about balanced operation. I understand the amp is not balanced/differential....can it be made with class D? (not ONLY balanced imput) |
