Integrated Amplifiers For Revival Atalante 3

[Harris ARP]

Greetings to all members!!!
I want some recommendations for integrated amplifiers for the Revival Atalante 3.
I end up in this choice after some demos and some search online but I haven't bought them yet.
My budget is under 1500 euro.
I prefer neutral to warm sounding amplifiers.
My room size is 12m2 (some treated) and i listen to music in nearfield environment aprox 1,5-1,6 meters and mostly in low to moderate volumes.
My music taste is 70s,80s rock,soul,funk but also some new tracks of the same genre.
The speakers will be placed on wooden stands.
The system will connect to my PC.
Thank you all!!

What do you currently have, what source(s) do you use and how big is the room?

 

[Al ears]

And more to the point what can you actually get to audition wherever you live?
Did you audition the speakers before you bought them? If so what amplifier where the dealers using?
The Atlante 3 are pretty efficient at 87dB and minimum of 4.4ohms impedance so most modern amplifiers should have no problem driving them.
For a basic amplifier with add-on modules you might like to consider the French Atoll range like the IN80

I'd agree with a few of those especially the Musical Fidelity but fear that others on that list will be over the OPs budget unless they are significantly cheaper on the Continent, note the "under 1500 Euro" comment.

Hi, Atalante 3 speakers for some small to midsize room is very good choice. They are quite revealing or with other words, they will stand well pairing with truly good system. Amp like Rega Elex mk4 with source like CD Rega Saturn will be a very good match and proper "starting point" to build extraordinary hifi system here. Also Atoll amp/streamer/cd... will be truly good match. For me, Atalante has a special character a bit like Harbeth which sounds very special (good) on good tube amp. If you have possibility to try, I recommend to try such combo. If tubes are not your cup of cofee, also Musical Fidelity A1 working in real Class A will sound very special here. Even it is more expensive than your limit, but soundwice well matching amp for small Atalante here. BR from Continent.😆

Yes, unfortunately that A1 seems to have gone up in price from what I recall. It's now over the OPs budget.
Still waiting for the OP to get back with which sources he has in mind

Yes I agree. Looking inside this amp, even design is 3 decades old it is very special. In Slovakia, it is still possible to buy MF A1 for some 1550 Eur. With very good MM and MC (!!!) phono preamp it is a real Rega Elex killer on more sensitive speakers. And I love Rega a lot🤩.

The French Atoll IN100 is rich and warm sounding and has good detail.
You mentioned Euros so I assume you're based in Europe, you should find an Atoll dealership near you.

I end up in this choice after some demos and some search online but I haven't bought them yet.I dont remember what amp he used but it was huge and very very expensive!!!I read many good things about Atoll brand and their amps!!

If you are considering the Atoll IN100 there's also the DAC option. You can use the USB input on Amp from your PC to get better sound; or you can invest in a Streamer/DAC and use analogue output to the Amp.
There's no need, if you're happy with the sound from your PC 🙂




PS.
Here's the specs.

Remote is extra but excellent quality, ah the French they know how to make money! 🙂

Reading up about the speakers, they seem to recommend them for rooms of 15m2 upwards, so you may need care in getting the best from them.

I tend to prefer money to go on the amp as much as the speakers, so I might have plumped for KEF R3 or Wharfedale Super Lintons instead of the Atalante 3 but they look very nice and get great reviews.

Aside from trying a Rega Elex 4 at around £1250, this Leak Stereo 230 has plenty of power and captures the retro theme of the speakers. They look like a good match, but I’d suggest trying them together and making sure the speakers are returnable given your room size. And obviously you’ll need the matching stands.

Thank you for your reply!!Yes i know that they are for rooms 15m2 - 25m2 but when i audition them i ask the dealer about that and he said that they will be ok for my room.I also ask revival audio about that and they also said are ok for my room.I hope that they right about because if they are not i will return them back.About the amps Rega Elex mk4 is one of my choices for these speakers as well.I have wooden stands with 80% sand inside them.Their stands are too sort for me.

Hi,thank you for the recommendations!!Indeed Elex mk4 ,Atoll and A1 are excellent choices!!Especially as you said ( i like the warm sounding amps) the A1 will sound very special.My only concern is that i read in some reviews that is getting to hot .Do you know something about that because i listen music most of the times for hours (but mostly in low volumes) and i dont want an amp that will burn after 1 year or less.

Its amazing amp i read only good things about it!!I think i will avoid their didgital board because it cost 350 euro.I think all the stand alone dacs under 400 should be much better sounding than their brad dac.I consider to buy one of the Schiit modi multibit 2,Ifi zen dac 3 or the new Shanling EH2 R2R.
