Amps Atma-Sphere M-60 Mono blocks OTL design
Yes... Unless your speakers are very efficient (e.g. say 94db+) you will most likely want to get a set of Autoformers from Anti-cables to boost the impedence of your speakers to reduce the load on the M60's.http://anticables.com/autoformers

"wolf..." - no, I'm not a dealer... I'm a customer - have had the GT's for 3+ years - which is why I know how great they sound.   They sound every bit as good as all of the customers / reviews have reported.  And... it's because its so hard to bel...

Looking for speaker ideas.
Yes - it's in the reviews on the Web site.  Just need to read down through them all. 
Looking for speaker ideas.
Owners and reviewers are finding these are so incredible they're replacing their Avantgardes, Wilsons, etc. with them.  http://www.wavetouchaudio.com/products.htmlI've had their Grand Tetons (the predecessor) for 3+ years... and... I've found noth...

http://www.wavetouchaudio.com/products.htmlYou will find nothing <$10,000 that sounds better than these.  People are replacing their "high-end" speakers with these - they're that good (see all the reviews).  If you don't mind their look, you ca...

Bookshelf Speaker Recommendations
Absolutely... the LS50's with the A21 - "match made in heaven."  Had this for 3 years, before moving on to higher priced stuff.   
Stand mount speakers for a very large room !!
Well... if... you’re after incredible sound in a stand mount monitor, you will find none better than the WaveTouch Audio Grand Teton’s (now Antero’s). Many are replacing their high-end floor standing speakers with these.I have the Grand Teton’s an... 
1st speaker considerations: Odyssey Lorelei, Meadowlark Shearwater, Spatial M3 Turbo S
Definitely... definitely... the Spatial M3 Turbo's!  Like Maggie's on steroids... great soundstage. 
Anticables
I would not characterize Anti-Cables as a "scam," any more so, than much higher priced cables, that may not sound any better.  The materials for most cables are not terribly expensive. You pay the premium prices for the specific design and creativ... 
Selling speakers to a buyer in Russia?
And by the way, these procedures are those you should use for any international transaction - they are not directed, exclusively, at those with Russian citizens. They are no more, or less, honest than the average US citizen. Many of the above comm... 
Selling speakers to a buyer in Russia?
Lot of good suggestions... but... if you decide to do it:1.  Advise the buyer of your terms and let him decide if he wants to accept all the risk.2.  Have him accept risk of loss from the time you deliver the package to the shipper.3.  Allow him t... 
To Pre or not to Pre? Here is my take
As I've posted elsewhere on Audiogon, I compared both the Creek OBH 22 SS Passive Preamp, and the ARC Ref 3 Tube Preamp.  I got the Passive Pre, initially, because I wanted to eliminate the preamp, but retain a remote volume control.  The Passive ... 
Budget Audiophile Looking For Amplifier Suggestions
Well... all of those are great... but... why not get a "giant killer" that's new, which will rival any of these, which won't require cap maintenance any time soon, and which will drive most anything...I've got the ClassDAudio (brand) SDS-470C, whi...
