First, let’s be clear the Lamm amps are special. Vandersteen are designed to be an easy load. I have owned the 5a in big rooms, one 18’ x 40’ w 10’ ceilings using a 200 wpc Ayre VX-R. In smaller rooms have used something as small as 75 wpc ARC REF75se, I don’t listen super loud. In SS on a budget, I would lean to Ayre and the wonderful Aesthetix Atlas stereo, of course there are others. In Tubes ARC 150, VTL 185 and even the Quicksilver 120. The right Music Reference also would be fantastic. Jim
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.
