The future of preamps

Hi Swampwalker,
Those sure are some special speakers you'll be listening to. When you have the time let me know how they sound driven by the Coincident (Frankenstein or the prior model 300b amp Israel made?).
Charles,

Audiolabyrinth,
The Lamm I cited above should have been the LL1 Signature model and not the Reference line stage.

I am all ears for Swampwalker's report back, as well :)

Anyone going to CES 2014?

Will do, Charles and Iso. I'm very interested in hearing what OB speakers sound like at home; I heard a pair of GRs at RMAF in 2011 and was very impressed w how dynamic and coherent they were, so I'm excited to give these a whirl. The amps that are on the way are the older parallel SE 300bs. Unfortunately, I cannot afford new Franks and they have not yet appeared on the used market.
