What To Replace A Pair Of Lamm Ml2 Monoblocks With? Need More Power
Due to a move to a new house, and a far, far larger listening area, I've had to change speakers to get something that will optimally perform in the large space, which also features very high ceilings. I currently own the wonderful Lamm ML2 18wpc SET amps, and they are simply the finest amps I have ever owned, and perhaps ever heard. Sadly, they cannot begin to drive the speakers I purchased to meet the rooms demands.
I am currently debating what would make sense to replace them with, which would still make me happy after experiencing the sound of the Lamm's for the past few years. I need something with at least 100wpc and I don't think anything solid state would satisfy my ears. Any recommendations or thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

years ago i switched from tube amps to darTZeel solid state.....that was Tenor OTL 75 watt tubes amps. you can find used dart 108's at reasonable prices. if you are serious about wanting the purity and refinement of tubes, but want the linearity and control of solid state, the darts do that. i still own darTZeel, the 468 mono blocks. |
nightfall OPIf you want the very "best" out of them Would be good if you can find a impedance/phase angle graph on these. Then it will be easy to find what your Lam’s were lacking, wattage or current or both. As nice as the 6c33c’s (to me the closest tube to SS) are in paralleled SE they are still tubes with weaknesses. Until we can see this graph it will be all guess work from those that haven’t listened to them with all types of amps. Unless the an amp is recommended that does it all, like the 180w Gryphon Antillion. https://gryphon-audio.dk/shop/power-amplifiers/antileon-evo-stereo/ Plenty of watts, huge current, and the ability to switch Class-A bias while listening, between 10w Class-A, 50w Class-A or 100w Class-A Great amp for Summer or Winter Cheers George |
10-15+ years go there was a "cable" product that tailored the impedance match between the amplifier and the speaker that could be ordered in various configurations. Don't recall the company name, but it was popular with Stat users as well as those using lower powered tube amps with less efficient speakers. Think they sold/pair for under $1K. Anyone know what this product was, and if it's still available. On a side note I think that Steven Eddy (sp?) came up with a similar product @ one point. Just throwing this out as it may be a solution which allows the current amps to be used with the 5A's. DeKay |
