Hybrid: pro's and con's?

How about Integrated "hybrids"?

I own both the Lamm ML-1 mono's and the Pathos Twin Towers Hybrid integrated. The Pathos is extremely good at a third the cost of the Lamm's. I had a $250.00 capacitor mod done to my pathos and it gives the Lamm a real run....the Lamm is still front and center but the Pathos is the clear winner in terms of value. You can occassionaly find these used on Audiogon for $3250-$3500.

I agree the lamms are the best Had krell cj ar vac etc the lamms sound neither like ss or tube just natural the palpability of tubes almost with tubes harmonic correctness and the control and transparancy of top end solid state I'm using the m2.1 with logans soon to upgrade to kharmas or verity I dont miss the krell kma 100s or the cj prem 5s these amps are keepers! Works very well with lamm ll2 single ended line stage Ive come to the conclusion its only as good as the source The lamms add little electronic glare so you actually hear the the real quality of the recording No listener fatigue with Vladimirs components Mitchell
