CLASS D MONO AMPS buy ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS
CLASS D AMPLIFIER TECHNOLOGY HAS FINALLY ARRIVED TO OUTPERFORM ALL OTHER TOPOLOGIES
The Amplifier is the New Class D Mono Amps using GaN Fets in a unique Patented
Circlotronic output stage…Design by Ralph Karsten of ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS
Rated at 100 watts 8 ohms and 200 watts 4 ohms with low distortion across the full audio bandwidth with excellent noise characteristics
I have been using ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS MA-1 3.0 with all factory upgrades along with NOS 6NS7 Input Tubes for many years
The New ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS CLASS D has outperformed my MA-1 3.0 in all areas…the resolution and transparency are simply an Amazing Accomplishment
Also I sold my MP-3 mk 3.0 and purchased the New MP-3 mk3.3
In my Audio opinion I believe the ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS CLASS D MONO AMPS used with the MP-3 mk3.3 will offer one of the most transparent sounding electronics combinations to date…only using the MP-1 mk3.3 will offer more performance
I have used other High End Amplifiers in my system and the ATMASPHERE MUSIC SYSTEMS CLASS D MONO AMPS outperformed all of them as well

People, forget about Hypex, Purifi, et al. The obvious point of comparison/competition here is the AGD Tempo di Gan. Consider this. Atmasphere: proprietary GaNFET module, 100W into 8, 200W into 4, $5400. AGD: proprietary GaNFET module, 100W into 8, 200W into 4, $5500. If anybody could get both amps in the same room at the same time, then they would really have my attention. |
@kuribo No. Purifi is last year's news, even if he is now working on a higher powered module, and Hypex... well. GaN is state of the art--and not the generic stuff being put out by Peachtree and LSA. And @noske, I disagree and would maintain my point. As regards proprietary modules, power output, and price, the two products are directly comparable. The fact that one is housed in two cases is secondary. The Audions are nice but not only considerably more expensive but also less powerful than the Tempo di Gan. My proposed comparison seems to me to offer the levelest of playing fields. |
@jerryg123 I seem to remember reading somewhere that the tubes in the Rogue Dragon were not in its input stage. Can anybody confirm? |
