Your choice for SET amp?


If you could choose Von Schweikert DB99 with the ribbon tweeter upgrade or Avantgarde Duo 3.1 for the same price to mate with a pair of Lamm ML2 which one would you take.

I am looking for the right speakers in my system which is EMM Labs front end and Lamm ML2. Any advice or first hand experience would be great....Thanks

Wish me luck--yes please. No amp yet either, thanks for asking. The search continues... I am buying a system from scratch (my 1st) and am trying to avoid the buying then selling for something better money trap game.
Good luck, indeed, Tickfight. If I remember correctly, you were talking about the DB-99's and then asked about an appropriate SET amp under $2K, yes? Pairing the components for sonics, as well as balancing their respective capabilities, will be crucial in assembling a synergistic system in my opinion. That doesn't necessarily mean spending a ton of money, but rather spending it consistently in the direction that will ultimately please you. Audition whatever you can. Consult with friends whose audio goals are similar to yours. In the end, you will have a very satisfying system. Can't wait to see what you get!
Enjoy,

Hey Boa

Just dropping a line to let you know I went with the 99's. Found a demo model for a GREAT price. Really nice dealer. I am pumped. Never heard the Duo's perhapse that's best. Room size may have not been condusive for them anyway.
Fantastic. I have a friend who has both the Duo's and the 99's. He wouldn't be without either, and he loves trading equipment frequently. Enjoy!
