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?

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.
Hi Markus,
I see your dilemma, it may still be worth your time to travel and at least hear
these acclaimed amplifiers If you can't get them in your system.
Brf's suggestion is good, only problem is you'd have to sell your
Frankenstein to swing the deal (and what if the Lamm doesn't suit you?).
You have a terrific system now but I can certainly understand your interest
in the Lamm SET as well. You're thrilled with the Franks so this is your
template. You can listen to your friend's Lamm system and try to
extrapolate to the best of your abilities.

Markus1299,
I would suggest that you ask your friend to have "you" bear the cost of shipping (plus insurance) both ways (if you don't like it) to try it in your system. This way, he has nothing to loose. If he is still not willing to go that route, then I don't know if he's truly a "friend".
The amps could get damaged in the shipping and at this guys house. I would not do this for my friend because then if something happens the friend may or may not take care of the damages.
