Atmasphere amps trustable?

Tube world, a big world, then I came acorss the Atmasphere on the net, looks different from those common tube stuff... kinda weird, the M-60 uses 8x 6AS7G output tube and 4x 6SN7 driver tube per channel, where're the rectifier tubes? Plus they're so-called OTL, sounds even more weird.

They are totally weird!
I even heard that 'Weird Al' Yankovic owns Atmasphere amps!!!

Tubes are retro of course from the beginning.
They're noisy, require LOTS of wall power; generate LOTS of heat(especially OTL ones!) and LOTS of distortion(even considering even order ones) making the playback far from real. 

Tube components indeed sound different, but they're just toys and nothing serious no matter of reputation or credibility of one or another manufacturer.

Wow! You forgot to mention how tubes sound more natural than transistors though.

Just another DJ who judges sound by the spec sheet because they can no longer hear.
