Hey Tech. You said earlier you use to own def tech 7000. What do you use now. Also. Sounded like you are a big fan of ATI. AMPS . Any particular reason. Trying to learn here
I now own the RBH SX-T2/R for my main HT room (Dolby Atmos system) and the RBH SVT towers (SV831R/SV1212N) for my living room 2CH system.
If you click on the boxes under my signature that says "SPOILER", you will see more info on my current and past systems.
My first ATI amp was the AT6012 (60W x 12Ch). The only reason I bought it was because that was the amp Linkwitz Lab used for the Linkwitz Orion 3.2.1 Active speaker system ($9K/pr speakers without the Amps).
So I bought the Orion speakers from Linkwitz Lab and bought the ATI amp from ATI separately to complete the system.
Based on the review by The Audio Critic about the Orion and ATI amp, it showed that the ATI 60WPC amp was stable down to 1-ohm. I thought that was impressive for a 60 Watts per Channel amp.
After that I did more research on ATI and then bought a few more of their amps (AT3005 300WPC, AT2007 200WPC). Based on everything I read, it seems ATI makes serious amps that have earned the nickname of "Arc Welder" that are stable down to 1-ohm. I was even more impressed when I learned that ATI made amps for other companies lie Mark Levinson, Lexicon, Cary Audio and others.
ATI said that they have made amps for "Most North American Amp companies". That's a very bold and strong statement.
Another area worth mentioning is that ATI has the 7YR Warranty on their amps (but 5YR on the amps they make for other companies). Bryston offers 20YR warranty on their analog amps, which is the best in the business. But ATI's 7YR Warranty is the 2nd longest warranty.
