Speakers for Atma Sphere M60 mk3


Hi! I'm thinking about tubes.... an Atma Sphere M60 mk3 maybe... (Its within my budget)

What kind of speakers are they able to drive to decent levels (classical, jazz)?

Today I have a pair of SF Elipsas SE. I think they could be too much for the M60.

I'm just curious, what are you using with the M60? What do you recommend?

Room is 26 x 14 ft ceiling is about 9

Thanks!

As I understand is the 4 ohm Elipsas not a good match....

Keep the Elipsas and go with AR or sell them and get the 60s and 8+ ohm speakers....

Speaker suggestions for the M60 are welcome!

Thanks!

Hi ghdprentice! Thanks.... I love the Elipsas SE. Today I have a Mark Levinson 532 with great dynamics (2 x 400 W) and that's why I am curious about the M60s ability to drive such a speaker....and they are only 4 ohms.

Thank you all! Many ideas... Elipsas and M60 won´t work. I don't think it´s worth the time trying that combination.

I drive the Elipsas today with a ML No.532, differential amp 2x400w, or 2x 800 at 4 ohms (like the Elipsas). Good dynamics and soundstage for symphonic music..

The Atma-Sphere D could be something to try, they are in Europe, 7.200 USD.

On the other hand there are plenty of used Tube-gear... A-S, ARC, etc. for that kind of money.

I´ll keep reading this post, so feel free to post more recommendations!

atmasphere: Thank you for your answer! Are there any service and repair options (or ways of getting spare parts) in Europe? Being in my second repair on the ML No.532, each for 3.000 USD, I am developing some kind of allergy against US-amps.

Thanks!

 

  

atmasphere: HARMAN Luxury Audio Group told me that too...but they forgot to tell me at what cost ;). The problem is that many can fix the amps but they do not have access to parts from Harman. Now: can I buy parts from YOU, IF needed? Living in the frozen north is a pain....specially without music ;)

@atmasphere Room is 26 x 14 ft ceiling is about 9 and I like the music in some how realistic volume level. I listen a lot to live music also , jazz and classical, so the "live" feeling at home is important to me. The Elipsas can play quite loud. The impedance curve drops down to around 2 ohms in the lower register so they are not easy to handle.

@atmasphere thanks! This discussion left me with 2 questions:

1. Speakers for Atma Sphere M60 mk3? ....the first question

2. Will my Elipsas sound good enough width D.amps? ....the new question

Thank you everyone!

@atmasphere Mark Levinson 532, balanced/differential amp 400W@8ohm and 800@4ohm, etc.... I have a 12dB Rothwell attenuator between pre and power amp so I´m not using the full output of the ML.

@o_holter thank you! You described my dilemma.... I´m not in any "need" of a new system....this is just fun. I appreciate your ideas. Thanks!
