Coincident vs Lamm

I agree, if possible try the Lamm SET in your system and listen. The Lamm
is 6x the cost retail of the Frankenstein and has more power. As you already
know personally the Franks are superb but many people feel the same
about the Lamm as well. You'd expect the Lamm to be superior(35K
amplifier) and everyone has opinions on what would be the better amplifier

. You have an actual opportunity to judge for yourself in your own system ,
opinions of others aren't nearly as valuable. Either way you choose you'll
have a first class SET amplifier. These amps are certainly different in design
approach and circuit, output tube etc. Lamm could likely have more bass
and drive and the Franks possibly more nuance and transparency, just a
guess. I have much respect for both of these companies.

Since your mentioned SET, I assume we are talking about the ML2.2, not the M2.2.

I like the ML2.2 a lot, and it is a very excellent sounding amplifier. I do however, find it way over priced, therefore, it would need to be a "VERY" good deal for me to consider a move.

Brf,
Did you hear the Lamm with your Total Eclipse and have you had a chance to hear the Frankenstein MK II?
Thanks,

Charles, your comment regarding the bass and drive of the Lamms is accurate. With the right speakers they put everything else to shame. And they have more nuance and transparency than the Franks, easy to hear if the preceding electronics are up to scratch.

Hi Dkarmeli,
Transparency and nuance are a Frankenstein strength, but Markus owns this amp and knows its attributes. You and I know listening to both and comparing is the best, otherwise opinions can be traded endlessly.
