Class D Monoblocks
Atma-Spheres Class D project has been in the works since 2017. Accordingly the goal being to expand on the positive attributes of the existing amplifiers, which have received great reviews and awards in the high end press for the past 30 years.
Finally the result is a solid state amplifier that uniquely has all the smoothness you would notably expect from an excellent valve amp, but equally has considerably lower distortion and output impedance but with higher efficiency.
A mono-block design based on GaNFET output devices, the circuit is entirely Atma-Spheres own design and manufacture. The power supply employs a toroidal power transformer and has over-current protection to keep the amplifier safe in case of a short at the speaker terminals.
Like their other amplifiers, this one certainly has a very nice first watt indeed!

HiFi House is delighted to be able to offer our UK customers, the superlative, game-changing Class D Power Amplifier and MP-3 tube Pre-amplifier, both delivering truly incredible performance. Please Contact Us for further information, to arrange a demonstration or indeed to place an order.
MP-3 Tube Pre-amplifier
The MP-3 is a single chassis, fully differential all-tube preamplifier with a direct-coupled high current output capable of driving low-impedance balanced cables.
The pre-amplifier perfectly complements the balanced design of the fantastic Class D power amplifier or as a matter of fact any other balanced power amplifier you wish to use. Patented innovations, developed specifically for this preamplifier, make it certainly one of the best preamps available today.
Its strength being, it extracts more ambient information with greater image specificity, bass definition and dynamic range than any single-ended preamplifier, owing to its patented direct-coupled output.
In addition to its remarkable line level section, the MP-3 works well with low-output moving coil cartridges and uses a low number of gain stages (only three from phono input to line level output). Insures low distortion, wide bandwidth and superb dynamic range. The result is a truly musical package of exceptional value.
