Lamm M1.2 v. ML2.1

Has anyone had the opportunity to compare the Lamm M1.2 hybrid and the ML2.1 SET amps? I am very curious as to how close they sound to each other and how much "magic" one might give up in going with the hybrid as opposed to the SET. I am also interested in how the L2 hybrid and LL2.1 all tube preamps compare. Thanks.

In addition to reading the reviews on Soundstage, Marc now has a new ezine called "The Audio Beat" and he and the staff are very responsive to readers' emails. You can ask him directly and I bet you will get a pretty quick response.

You might also post your question on the Lamm forum. Although I have posted there before and it doesn't seem to get much response or traffic. Maybe Lamm owners are too busy listening to music!

The ML2.1 is one of the best (true, no coloration) sounding Amp available. But, the bring the best out of it you need a Speaker which is not a "black hole" from the crossover/Chassis.
The M1.2 is imo the next best for the User with a regular sensitive Speaker.

My experience with LL2 Preamp
Unbelievable good. From Performance and Price. Clear in Tone, superb Soundstage, no smeared detail and when you hear voices with the LP2 as source, it is the real thing.
The L2R is a bit better in the higher frequencies, based on better parts, but it has not the Magic from the LL2
