Larryi, I don't agree that the low level dynamics and clarity of my 845 SET are lacking in the least. In fact these very things are improved vs. 2a3 monoblocks, push/ pull tubes and SS amps I own or previously owned.
I would agree that my 845 amp can sound rather dull and flat at lower volume levels, but that is not the same as saying it lacks in microdynamics and clarity. Perhaps this is what you meant?
I also love the Joule OTLs and Atmasphere certainly is well respected. OTLs are fast and immediate as they don't have the liabilities of tons of wire in output transformers. My 845 amp shares this trait despite it's output transformer, in fact, I would say that is it's most distinguishing characteric vs. my push/pulls and SS amps.
