Speakers for Atma Sphere M60 mk3

If you like the Maggie sound (planar-magnetic drivers), but know that their 4 ohm-and-below impedance characteristic and very low sensitivity rules out the mighty-fine M60, there is an alternative: the Eminent Technolgy LFT-8b. 8 ohms full range, 11 ohms for the m-p drivers themselves (the 8b includes a sealed box 8" dynamic woofer) if bi-amped (two pair of binding posts are provided). Under $3,000/pr, another grand or so for the LFT-8c, which uses dipole woofers in place of the -8b's standard monopoles (as well as a different crossover and DSP bass management.

Very well reviewed in the UK mags, as well as by Robert E. Greene in TAS. VPI's Harry Weisfeld described the 8b as possessing the best midrange of any loudspeaker he has ever heard. Yet the ET LFT-8b continues to be ignored by the vast majority of audiophiles. ???!!!

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.

I own M-60 3.3s, and use Zu Druid Mk Vs. My room is 14 X 30. I have the Druids about 6 feet from the back wall, and they sound amazing.

Elipsas are very good. Sashas are also quite good, but you need to listen to them on the Atma-Spheres.  I have only heard the Sashas on solid state amps and don't know how the impedances match the Wilsons.

Hi, @fredag !

Sounds like you're from Sweden like me. I might miss the HEM audio show in Stockholm next week but if you live nearby and can go that might be a good time to listen to some different speakers and hear what the dealers recommend. 

I think Orangutan O/96 could be  a great pairing. Or one of the better Fyne speakers. I heard Lindström open baffle speakers driven by a tube amp and that made great sound also.

Good luck!
