Good impedance match for Atma-Sphere MP3?

Would some of you old hands please help a relative neophyte? I'm looking for an amplifier with XLR option in the $2-4K range (new or used) that will be a good match for the Atma-Sphere MP3. Sophia 1 speakers, Transparent Reference throughout. Thanks very much -- Bill

Have you thought about a matching atma amp?

The only tubes amps I have owned are atma's, (though I have had several solid state amps) and I attribute so much of the magic my system posseses to the atmas, but of course I have no other tube reference point.

I just read a post here the other day that mentioned that the systems he thought sounded best over the years were all OTL's (diiferent brands including Atma) which seems to validate what I am hearing.

JT - I have a brouchure that came with my recent MA1's that lists the MP-1 pre is remote controllable. In talking with the factory, they are working on getting it done, (at least in the MP-1, not sure about MP-3) I believe an MP-1 will have to go back to he factory to get the remote motor option installed, but the mounting posts are already there, at least in MKIII units, I think I remember hearing. Did you see the recent soundstage review of the MP-1?
