Speakers for Lamm ML2.1

I would suggest you visit Romy's site www.goodsoundclub.com
to learn more about the Lamm sound and to what extent he's gone to in developing a speaker system to truly get the most out of them.

Unfortunately, this is not a product you can just order at the dealer. The good news is he provides much of the information needed to build the system. With the usual high end retail being 5 times cost, Romy's speaker system would likely retail for 150K plus and is not easily duplicated due to the use of vintage drivers.

What about the Von Schveikert VR9 or the Acapella horns? Anyone have any experiance with those?

Can you be specific about what you don't like about the Magico's design? It certainly has the ultra high efficiency. Also, to add a speaker I left off the suggested speakers you look at the Zingali may be interesting as well.

Thanx

Acapellas also have problems: non-integrateable tweeters bult around the Chernobyl particles, the “washed” ceramic mid-range drivers and many others. There is really no interesting high sensitivity speaker out there. Look at your Lamm as an amplifier building company. They show after show, year after the year demonstrate quite ordinary not to sat crappy sound in their listening rooms. Among many reasons one of the most important that there are no good commercial speakers out there. Still, I feel that to search “a loudspeaker for ML2” is not really a correct shaping of objectives. Find a loudspeaker that would be fine “as is” and then let ML2 to do with it whatever it could. A little tip: it looks to me that Lamm loads his output stage to push up the harmonics. I do not know how he configures his secondary but I learn that by severely under-loading the out stage you might get way more interesting result then ML2 meant to yield. Therefore, look for the loudspeakers that do not drop less then 12R and load them at min secondary impedances. It would help you to get some transient speed and do not worry about the harmonics why you do so – the ML2 is reach enough in the harmonic juice….
