In recent years I've had two sets that I consider very good, Mark Levinson 32ref and Ml 33, and Mcintosh C2300 with Mc275!
But now I'm intending to buy an Airtight ATM 211, my loudspeaker is Tannoy Westminster Royal!
I would like to know if anyone has any recommendations or opinions about this purchase!

Hi,
I really loved my ATM-211’s with my Tannoy GRF90’s but felt the Tannoy’s were at their best with more power. The AT ATM-2 to me was a better overall fit. For course your results may very.

Tannoy GRF is a great speaker, has 95db of efficiency, Tannoy Westminster has 99db of efficiency, seems to me a good difference, what you think about this, I will feel lack of power and dynamics?

Today I'm playing with Mcintosh MC 275 and I have all the power and the dynamics I need!

Please, does your ATM 211 produce a lot of background noise when there is no music?

Was it difficult to marry the ATM 211 with the preamp?
I really like my preamplifier (Mcintosh C2300) will it be a good marriage?
Please, what preamplifier are you using with the ATM 211?

If you can possibly afford these (ATM-3211) I would get them. I heard them at Munich and was really impressed. I used to own an Air Tight ATM-2 and I agree that the Tannoy Westminster will need more power.

I would love to buy an ATM 3211, but at the moment I do not have this money available! To buy ATM 211 I'm already selling my mother-in-law!

If the mother-in-law is a nice person and knows how to prepare a dry martini, better keep it at home! :cool:

Hi,

The 211’s were wonderful and dead quite with most types of music. I have 107db Avantgardes and no issues with background hiss. The Preamp I used was a darTZeel .
I know of a pristine pair of 120V ATM 3211 for 15,000 if interested.

Would be a great purchase, please, in which country is the amplifier? Do you know how much time to use?
I need to know the shipping cost to calculate import costs!

I’m the one with the pair of Air Tight ATM 3011R flagship mono amps. “R” version is newest one that takes KT120 tubes so even more powerful. Mint condition and comes with free new set of extra tubes. Darrin

Hi,
My mistake I got the part#'s wrong. I was referring to Podeschi's amps. We just did a sizable transaction and I can highly recommend him.

Etunes, thank you very much for your indication!
Podeschi, I'm sure it should play very well, but my interest is for a "SET" with the signature of tubes 211!

Have you considered the Aries Cerat Concero? They are big SETs with huge dynamics and real drive. Best SET I have ever heard. They have various versions. _MG_2456-w1200-h1000.jpg

I do not have local representation, the costs of an individual import would be prohibitive, not to mention that if I ever need maintenance, I will not have any local support!

I recently purchased a pair of Air Tight ATM 211 monoblocks on Audiogon for 6700.00 I had been looking for years. They do not come up often in the used market in the USA. Well worth the wait. And quite a deal.
