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!

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 ;)

@fredag I get that- we live in the frozen north too! Our amps are designed not only to be easy to service, but to also work with available parts. You can certainly get them from us! We stand behind our products even if they are decades old, although when we service our older products, they are likely to sound better than when new...

 

@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!

@fredag For the M-60s I would use speakers that are at least 8 Ohms and 91 or higher efficiency.

With any amplifier, tube or solid state, its beneficial for the speaker to be easier to driver rather than harder; this will always result in less distortion! The higher impedance speakers will also be less critical of the speaker cables.

I would expect the class D to work fine with the Elipsas, depending on the size of your room and how lively it is.

@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.
