OTL amplifiers
Dfrigovt, since much of what has been posted here is way outside the scope of what you originally requested (especially from me) and is probably very confusing, let me answer your question more directly as pertains to Atma-Sphere M-60 Mk. II.2 amp... 
OTL amplifiers
The alternative 2X setting I refer to use the white and black leads attached to the speaker binding posts and the blue and yellow leads attached to the amplifer posts. This configuration brought back the "magic" OTL sound, but resulted in a small ... 
OTL amplifiers
I agree with Trelja that finding an OTL friendly speaker is the optimal way to go, but I did have exceptional results with the ZEROs and a previous set of speakers that, on paper anyway, were a good match for OTL amps (nominal 8 ohms that never di... 
Amplifier match for MM de Capo i's
I suspect that an Atma-Sphere S-30 amp would be wonderful, if you can find one used at your price. I think the retail is about $3,000. I haven't heard them paired together, but on paper they look good together. 
OTL amplifiers
Thank you Detlof, I have no plans or desire to replace ANY of my "sources". 
OTL amplifiers
One of the reasons I purchased Atma-Sphere M-60 amps was low tube cost. A speaker that is a good impedance match is a good idea, but can be overcome with the use of ZERO autoformers ZERO Autoformer Website. I couldn't be happier with the performan... 
Good SET Tube Amp for $1500?
These exceed your budget, but would probably be a great pairing with your speakers . I would check to see if any other users of your speakers use OTL's and how they match up. If they don't match perfectly, consider using autoformers between them i...

Have you considered the Shamrock Eire? 
Matching Pre-Amp for Audio Aero Capitole MKII ?
An Atma-Sphere preamp will probably expand your soundstage in a big way. I love mine. For digital only I would personally go in a different direction, but I don't wish to keep repeating myself and give the appearance of being a shill. 
Isolation transformers on CDP to reduce glare?
Another tweak that will reduce glare are the Walker Audio High Definition Links, Mk. II version is noticeably superior. I broke off one of my leads recently and have been listening without. I can't wait to get them back in the system. 
What causes phase shifts...Sean?
Boy, thanks for all the information. I am particularly interested in the acoustical aspect. I found it very interesting that a Marigo dot treatment on the windows in my listening room really improved the focus. Now I am trying to get a handle on w... 
Done with integrated Preamp for Plinius SA102...
The Plinius SA-102 is a really great sounding amp. For an inexpensive volume control you might consider Electronic Visionary Systems Ultimate Attenuators. You would have to determine if passive attenuation will work in your system first however. T... 
The Fastest most musical amp
Try to audition the Atma-Sphere amps and preamps, they match your stated objectives. I am really happy with mine. An exceptional digital only system can be found by pairing an Audio Synthesis DAX Discrete Variable with Atma-Sphere amps, bypassing ... 
Resolution Audio Opus vs. Audio Aero Capitole MKII
All the units discussed here are surely going to be enjoyable. I have never heard the Capitole, but I have heard the Prima and was quite impressed. 
Resolution Audio Opus vs. Audio Aero Capitole MKII
Mes,I have not heard the Meitner DAC, however considering its pedigree, I am sure it is quite impressive.Peerless is an absolute term that is impossible to defend without having heard all of the competition. Have you had the opportunity to listen ...
