Description

Currently on tap in AMA’s large demo room:

Nifty Sound Lab G7-5C speakers in black Majestic trim with cement mix grills. 

Benchmark LA4 and a pair of ABH-2 running bridged mono. Don’t let the naysayers scare you off these amps!

Atma-Sphere MP-3 and MA-1 monos for an all tube experience that will blow your mind!

Coda Continuum Series No. 8 amp and CB linestage—plenty of power with a touch of finesse!

Two wonderful analogue set ups!

Feickert Woodpecker + Audio Origami PU-7 (11” Titanium Arm) + EMT JSD Pure Black + WyWires Platinum Phono ICs. (Bet you haven’t heard this combo anywhere else!)

Pure Fidelity Harmony + Origin Live Illustrious MK5 + EMT HSD-006. Pretty to look at and listen to!

WyWires Platinum runs throughout. Awesome Fern & Roby racks. 

AMA listening rooms are probably just like yours—no exotic room treatments or snake oil in the house. Just well curated components from reputable manufacturers put together to enhance the enjoyment of music!

That is a pretty nice sized room. I have experienced what large rooms can do to the music. Everything sounds so spacious and the imaging is expansive and the "height of vocals" is amazing in such rooms! Especially with the high ceiling. Enjoy your music.

Congratulation on the move into a larger room! It does look huge. What are the dimensions of this new room. It is looking beautiful. I am sure the music is sounding phenomenal in this room.
