Hey now... let's keep this thread PG-rated. 🥵

Thanks! I ultimately decided to find a way to hold on to these and make sacrifices elsewhere. Every time I put these on, I think "I don't see how I could ever part with these..." lol

Agreed. The Atrium Closed is amazing. Once upon a time, I tinkered with EQ. But, I found that I usually desired a modest bass shelf. For some odd reason, EQ hasn't been touched at all lately... >:)

Selling my amazing Blackwood Verites due to downsizing. Original owner, purchased around 6 months ago. There's a light scratch on the bottom of the right cup. This LTD Blackwood is spec'd with the magnesium chassis. Despite being one of the most dense woods available, it's surprisingly lighter...

Parting ways with my lovely Olivewood Atrium Closed due to downsizing. This was purchased at launch (a year ago) and so it includes the exclusive, launch-edition wooden case. I'm including the original contents as shown in the photo. The suede pads were hardly used at all, and the cables have...

Very well done, thank you! The comparison with the Blackwood VC was great for me. Helps ease the FOMO a bit... ;) Nonetheless, I likely won't be able to help myself come ZMF November... I'm excited to read more impressions by happy ZMFans. :)

Can't compare to any Tangents, but what I can say is that the WHAMMY is seriously legit. When built with top-notch components, it belongs in the "high-end" tier.

This is exciting. Can’t wait for your review! It’s interesting, though, your comments make me think of my Verite Closed — emotive, resolving, and not V-shaped.

Swapped to the Caldera Ultra Perf lambs on my VO recently. There's just something so right about this combo, especially for classical / soundtracks.

Pics or it didn’t happen. ;)

Maybe it's the universe trying to say something... Put them on again... give them one last listen... :D

Yeah, I didn’t really enjoy the AO for Jazz and Classical as much, tbh — the Verite (Open or Closed) absolutely nail those genres better than either of the Atriums (to my ears.) That said, I did find that the AO do vocals with acoustic accompaniment superbly well — better than any headphones...

Criminally underrated OTL amp. It’s a shame that it’s no longer available. Was truly a giant killer for its price.
