Ralph keeps advertising and making misleading claims.@inna
Explain yourself- where on this thread did this occur? It does not appear to be in the one prior post I made, so this statement appears to be false.
The Lamm I heard was driving a set of Apogee Duetta Signatures in good condition. It was at a friend's house (Paul Bolin) who was also a reviewer. The amp was on loan from Lamm, so I have to assume it was working correctly. I heard it in comparison to an all tube amplifier that made about 200 watts- it was clearly brighter than that. Now the Lamm uses a 6DJ8 at its input. This tube can be really variable in sound, being prone to microphonic effects (all frame grid triodes seem to share this quality) so it may well be that with careful selection, the amp I heard could have been toned down. When I've heard the amp at shows, I've heard the same brightness, but I concede that what you hear at shows may well be irrelevant. An additional caveat is that this occurred several years ago and the amp Paul had may no longer be representative.
