Lamm or Edge solid state ?

Both are very good. The Edge is very dynamic and fast and only takes RCA connectors.

I know an Edge dealer, and he told me the only other amps he would own than the $30k Edge monos are the LAMM M1.1 or M2.1 amps. It really depends on the rest of your gear you are matching it to.

First let me say that I am a dealer for LAMM and I will try to be as unbiased as I can.

I have had both the M1.1's and the NL12 and liked both. Overall, I prefer the Lamm M1.1 amps, but there were a few things that I preferred about the Edge NL12.

The LAMM's had a naturalness and ease of presentation that the Edge could not match. I would say the LAMM's were also quite a bit more musical. With a speaker that needs A LOT of power, the Edge may have a slight edge :)

With quite a bit more power the Edge has a real grip on things that, while not a weakness in any way for the LAMM's, is one of the real strengths of the NL12.

Overall, if the two amps I mentioned have enough power for your speakers (They would have to be ridiculously hard to drive if either of these amps would not work), I would recommend the LAMM's just for the musicality.

Good Luck!

I own a Lamm M1.1 but I have heard the Edge monoblocks. I find the Lamms to be more musical, and in fact a bit tubey--not the traditional tubey sound--and both dynamic and delicate. The Edge does have a better grip because of the extra juice.

Thank you guys, I currently use Kharma Exquisite 1D with Lamm ML1, I am thinking to have a secondary solidstate amp for my speakers.
