TerryO Posted June 28, 2019 Posted June 28, 2019 Having heard nearly all of Cafad’s various amps in his massive collection I rate this one as one of the best. If I was looking for a well priced integrated then this would be it, easily better than a MF M6i or a Plinius Hautonga. cheers Terry

gat474 Posted June 29, 2019 Posted June 29, 2019 RRP for this amp is around $6k, this is cheap! I’ve compared this with a range of amps including ME240, ME850, ME1500, Primare A32 and a $21k Moon amp (all power amps so with a pre amp) and the ATC was not disgraced by any. For the money it’s a no brainer, you can’t go wrong. When I say this amp I mean this actual one. It was only bettered by ATC active speakers which is more than understandable.
Cafad Posted June 29, 2019 Author Posted June 29, 2019 (edited) Quite cheap actually. The next cheapest unit I've found is in Spain. Edited June 29, 2019 by Cafad 1

No doubt it's a great amp, the speakers are exceptional too. Someone grab this bargain before I think about selling the Plinius GLWTS mate. 1
Cafad Posted July 18, 2019 Author Posted July 18, 2019 Hey guys, I've been asked a few times now how old the ATC is so I thought I'd answer this in the FS thread. The date of manufacture of this amp is the 18th of June 2010. (If you look at the front of the manual in the first pic you can actually see it there.)

This amp hasn't had a whole lot of use. It was George Secher's originally, then sold to a guy in Melb who had it for a little while and then to me. I used it for about 20 hours, the other guys I can't say but not a whole lot I'd imagine as they had lots of other gear as well. 1
