Thank you for your reply on my tread.
i like the Atma-Sphere very much for it's amazing transparancy and top end clarity. but the bass and midbass and midrange are a bit anorexia sounding compared to other tube amps. this is not due to my speakers.
a nice AR VT-200 has shown better performance than the OTL in these respects.
so i'm willing to trade off on this extraordinary OTL performance parameter, and gain in the lower frequencies.
i think it's logical due to the output transformer..
You say the (VK-75) is 'no slouch'in the bass department with a pair of Watt Puppies connected and that must be more than a compliment. that says a lot.
the Gen 501 has indeed servo controlled bass section, but mind you that it just follows the signal of the poweramp output. it does not make better or stronger bass than the amplifier does.
my VK-P10SE has SuperPack installed, cannot compare but i have a grin from ear to ear about them.
regards
