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!

OP,

It is very likely if you like the sound of your speakers now , then a high quality tube amp will really make them sound even better. At least to me Mark Levinson is accurate and very polite… but doesn’t communicate the emotion of the music. It has been a long time since I have heard an AtmaSphere amp. But, since I moved to an all tube amp my life has never been the same. I am drawn in to the music.

Typically most folks build their system around the sound of their speakers. Sonus Faber speakers have a unique, natural, and musical sound. They sound particularly good driven with tubes. Do you like the sound of the speakers?

 

I have Sonus Faber Amati Traditional… I am driving them with Audio Research Reference 160s operated in triode mode, so 60 watts per channel. They will play MUCH louder (without loosing dynamics)  than I can stand it.

Hopefully that is helpful.
