Hi Johnny7: Check out the APOG.

Absolute best source I've seen for you is the APOG (Atmos-Phere Owners Group) at www.otlamp.com. Site includes an OTL Online Forum of all atmos-phere junkies. There are a few great articles there too. Read the one by Tomcik called "The Missing Link in Speaker Operation." Best explanation of damping and speaker matching I have ever read and essential to read if you are trying to match speakers and cables to your OTL. I think it dates from 1954.

Sincerely, I remain
Hi Johnny
You may be looking at the last amp you will buy in a long time, at least thats how I feel.
I have my S30 paired with Reference 3a Decapos at the moment. Prior, I had Soliloquy 5.3s. Both very compatible with the S30. You may also consider Coincidents & Meadowlarks.
The S30 has proven itself to be very reliable with an occasional tube replacement. 6AS7s are relatively cheap ($13) & plentiful.
Read the many reviews of the MK60 at the Atmasphere website.
All the accolades can be applied to the S30 as well.
