What do you get for your money? Let’s take a look.

Atoll of France spends its money where it really matters- in DUAL large transformers and a big load of filter capacitance. By spending money on the heart of the amplifier Atoll delivers a more weighty, muscular and dynamic sound! Further, Atoll runs MATCHED MOSFET output transistors which sound smoother than unmatched transistors from the other guys. Atoll builds its gear from the PCBs on up in its own factory in France. Not everyone does. Atoll uses through hole parts for better sound, heat dissipation, superior reliability and easier service down the road. Oh, and you’ll see Atoll has better pricing as well!
