Atmasphere is one of the top 5 amplifier manufactures in the audio industry in my opinion;Ralph Karsten produces tube pre amps and OTL amplifiers for over 30 years.I would find it hard to believe that Ralph would be incorrect in the impedance of t...

I will go along with that 100% Rick_hopkins;I am a soundlab m2 owner no issues to report,bias is checked on a regular basis and they are not power up when not being used.

Summertime ss amp Question

Summertime ss amp Question
Understood; maybe the jeff roland model 5 for 2k would fit the bill;I have model 6 mono's that sound close to my audiovalve challanger 180 mono's;that unit should sound more like tubes than solid state.

How many 'listen outside of the box' design?

altec model 19 , how to upgrade the speaker ?
Call Bill Legall at Millersound for his opinion;he can rebuild them or design a crossover if thats the route you want to go.I think he would be able to come up with a few ideas that would help you out.Millersound1422 Taylor RoadLansdale, PA 19446-...
