CM LABS Amplifiers, any opinions?HELP? ?

Try contacting A-gon member Ferrari about these. If i remember correctly, he had a collection of CM labs stuff and was digging up info on them. From what i remember about them, i think that the stuff was pretty solid, but that was quite some time ago. That is not to say that it won't hold its own today, just that it might need some TLC and simple updates in terms of higher quality parts. Sean

Yeah, I had a 911 back about 20 years ago. 150 wpc, weighed a ton. It sounded awesome to me, but that was back in the days when I was making the transition from mid-fi to high end. I loved to watch those big ole meters swing with the bass when I cranked that sucker up. I still have the matching ss pre stuck away in a closet somewhere. Looked to be bullet-proof, but a lightening strike cooked mine.

swampwalker: aha! you shoulda' had your cm pre in a faraday cage (like my listening chair). it might still be around today and worth millions (in argentinian currency, anyway). -cfb

Well shucks boys, it seems as tho I experienced a brain fart as I was composing my earlier post. It was the amp that went to audio heaven. Pre is still with us, altho unused for many years.

CM Labs 911 Power Amplifier.
