| Sonus Faber Guarneri and Air Tight amp Davey, I doubt the ATM1 would work. Too soft, not enough power. ATM2 might work. I have the ATM3 monos, and they work well on my Merlin TSM's | |
| Review: Air Tight ATM-3 Tube amp Having listened to my ATM3's for a few months, now, a couple of thoughts. Mine have the Tom Tutay mods which include better binding posts, a soft start circuit (to save the tubes from too much start up juice), and IEC connector allowing me to use ... | |
