The future of preamps


I still use one, but I wonder if their days are numbered. To those who have removed the preamp from their system, have there been any regrets? Anyone gone back to using a preamp after having removed it?

Audiolabyrinth,
The Lamm I cited above should have been the LL1 Signature model and not the Reference line stage.
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.
Swampwalker,
Arthur Savatore and others have said that the older Coincident Parallel SET 300b were excellent sounding. My guess is that paired with a Feastrex field coil OB speaker this could be quite a match.
