Air Tight vs VTL vs Triode Corp of Japan

What about Audio-Tekne? The company has similarities to Shindo...a father/son team, father worked for a large Japanese manufacturer back in the day, produce a whole lineup from cables, turntable, cart, amps, integrated amps, pre-amps, phono pre-amps, speakers. Not cheap.

I've seen the Audio-Tekne stuff before. Looks a little, ah, shall we say, unfinished.

I'm really liking Air Tight. The more I research the brand, the more I find a good diversification between big power (like 330 watt monos, 110 watt monos, 80 watt monos, etc.) and SET offerings in both 300b and 211 flavors, different price points, great reviews, a long history, a lineup that offers some classic sounding tube amps (ATM3) and more modern sounding tube amps (ATM 1S) and the brand has a big fan in one of our members, Darrin (Dpod).
 
Oh my God!

I had the pleasure of coming across a couple Air Tight amps back in 2009. The build quality was fan-freakin-tastic!

Are you thinking to change to AT preamp as well ?

I haven't heard the 211 amps yet but I'm considering purchase these amp unheard.
Someone told me it could be little harsh versus to 845. What is your opinion ?

Thanks in advance
 
Hope you don't mind some pics of ATM-211 with Elrog tubes...

Hi Paul, I do not own the ATM-211, just tried them out some time ago. In my ears Strads need a bit more than 22W...
