Strength:

The speakers got good reviews in Stereophile... Radiohead's "Exit music" was stunning until bass was asked for, and "Lucky" again lacked bass when called for. Hmm. But the midrange! Vocals were simply STELLAR. I can't beleive how realistic it sounded! Perfect to use in playing my favorite music while doing Rust repair!

Weakness:

None . .

Strength:

The Atma-Sphere MA-1 Mk II. 2 offers an utterly clear and uncongested view into the music. Transients have snap, percussion moves at breakneck speed, and cymbals have a lifelike, steely sheen. All of this imparts an immediate quality that will have tube nay-sayers who "like accuracy" scratching their heads. divorce lawyers dayton ohio

Strength:

I have received two days ago a new pair of MA-1 MK 3.3 fully loaded (with VCaps and Powerboost add-ons). It is not even properly burned-in yet, but I’ve just had the most spectacular listening experience in my life! I’m thrilled!!! MA-1 & MP-1 MK 3.3 are impressive, outstanding and totally fantastic! I’m listening to them with a pair of old pairs and heavily modified Soundlab A3. The synergy with A-3 is exceptional. The sound of Atma Sphere combo is simply spectacular and stunningly beautiful. It outperforms by light years anything else I’ve had or listened in my life. Please notice, I’m far away from being a beginner in the audiophile world. I owned EAR V12, 509, 912, Quad II forty, eighty, 606, 909, I have tested or used a couple of McIntosh, Primare, Jadis, PassLab, Spectral, and many fine machines I do not remember any more. I was afraid of the heat coming from 38 tubes, but finally, it does not heat so much. I find it acceptable in my moderate-size listening room. My other concern was the size of A-3 and the synergy with MA-1 (many audiophiles buy very powerful transistor amplifiers to drive them) but their curved shape actually works just fine in moderate size room and the synergy with MA-1 is the Perfect Match! I will receive in a couple of weeks a new DAC, but even now, on my budget CD player, I have the most fantastic sound I have ever experienced in my life (my previous DAC was Big 7). I fully and totally understand how privileged I am to own Atma Sphere gear. If you have money to buy it, do not look elsewhere! If you live in France (Paris area) and you would like to listen these magnificent amplifiers, feel free to contact me. My skype nickname is twodolphins and you'll find my various posts on french audiophile forums as well. I’ll be happy to invite you for a listening session. As many other guys do, I like to listen and compare various gear. This time, I’ll gladly compare some new DAC, turntable, cables (I use Magnan’s and WhyNot), but in a matter of amplification, for me things are settled. I will not bother to try listen anything else anymore. This is a definitive purchase for me. I am in a state of Nirvana. Truly exceptional amplifiers and a pure and utmost joy.

Weakness:

As for I am concerned MA-1 amplifier or MP-1 preamplifier do not have any weakness!
