Coincident vs Lamm


I currently own the Coincident, Frankenstein, 300b monoblock amps. In my system, they are by far the best I have ever heard and I've heard quite a few. I think once you live with a set amp of this caliber, you won't go back.
A friend has offered to sell me his Lamm 2.2 set amps at a really great price but I'd probably have to sell the Franks to do the deal. I have not heard the Lamm set amps so I really don't know how they compare. Does anyone here have experience with these amps?

No amplifier is in a class of its own ( hyperbole )even though it may be fantastic. Owners of Audion, Tron, Absolare, Zanden, Kondo, Wavelength etc. Could legitimately claim the same.
I accept that there are truly wonderful SET choices in the marketplace and everyone has their favorites. I just hope Markus can listen to the Lamm he's considering, sounds like fun to me.
Charles,
A class of very few .....as a small combined group on their own.
A small grouping of the elite on their own. The few, the proud, the class of their own . Ya, it happens in all product categories. Lamm is indeed in a class very few own :-) I suggest none other do it quite like a Lamm.
Bill,
I've heard the Lamm ML 3 driving the big Wilsons on 3 occasions and the combination was very impressive. I'll assume a family sound with their ML2.2 amplifier. Just as impressive if not more was hearing the Viva Aurora driving the Trenner Friedl speakers under the same show conditions, utterly life like and so impressive. Another example, Tron Telstar 211 SET driving the large Cessaro horn, excellent. I understand what you are saying, but it's all pure subjectivity at any given level.
Charles,
If you really want the best , as Ive heard the lamms and the Frankenstein , buy either the wyetech sapphire 300b 18 watts rms or the ultimate ruby 300 b . Truly spectacular in sound and appearance
Thanks guys for your response. My friend lives in another state and is unwilling to ship them to me for a listen without a commitment. I understand his concern but to put out that kind of bucks without a listen...... I'm at an impass.
I could travel to where he lives but I would hear them in his system and not mine plus I'm not sure I can wrap my head around parting with the Franks.
