Would a Lamm ll2.1 deluxe slay a Parasound JC2?

I had a McIntosh MC275 with a Rotel preamp. The Lamm was an improvement across the board, which was not surprising given the price difference. In my case even the bass seemed deeper, let alone the midrange improvement. It was way more spacious.

I also purchased directly from Lamm. They have always been very good to deal with.

At the time I carefully studied some reviews by Mark Michaelson  (spelling?) on Soundstage about preamp in that price range. I thought valuable comparisons.

I have never looked back. Thought it wold  e a pie e to never leave my home. But I'm parting with it after deciding for a overall change in system approach. It will remain my last pretty, though ☺

I sure hope so given the price-point of Lamm gear.

Happy Listening!

Used ones are rarely up for sale/resale so guaging pricing is tough. 

Thoughts anyone?

There was a used LL2.1 deluxe offered just about 3 weeks ago for I believe 3,600.00, it actually was listed twice, which surprised me because they don't come up often, it was a dealer add where the owner moved up the Lamm line. 

Here a some good ibro on the lamm:

Seems that the lamm will be more laid back and "slower" in comparison to the solid state parasound.  Just depends what kind of sound your are looking for and the synergy with your amp.  Parasound will be
more punchy and dynamic, so the more expansive lamm may not be an upgrade if the type of sound you are looking for  fits more with the parasound.
