Coincident vs 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.

Hi markus,

Where do you live 1299?.

A small advice:
1) If you buy a brand new Lamm , make sure that you deal with capable, reliable and well-trusted dealer.
2) Make sure that you also can manage connection and communication with the manufacturer.

lamm is a good product, but dont sacrifice your life to struggle with dealership and technical matter that may occur in the future.

You have to have a good access to both of them, or you have to have an access to your "own' technician and replacement spare parts in the market.

Good luck

Markus1229, how much is he asking? If the price is really good, then there would be little downside in purchasing them and trying them out. Well priced Lamm's are always in demand should you choose another direction.
