RE: Atma-Sphere OTL & Magnepan?

Posted by baileyler on January 5, 2017 at 15:15:52:
Which Atma-Sphere, and which Magnepan?

Most AS amps want at least 8 ohms, and most Magnepan are 4 ohm nominal (although the old Tympani are apparently 8 ohm nominal).

I have run an old pair of M-60s with a pair of MG10.1 and MG-IIIa using the old Atma-Sphere Z-Music transformers (which are tricky to use, there is an old thread on this), and they worked fine and sounded great.

Unless everything is a little outside the norm, the ZEROs are you best option.
