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?

If I may offer my opinion. I never had Franks in my own system, but heard them maultiple times in various contexts.
I've had different highly regarded amps in my system before I acquired Lamm
I do own Lamm ML 2. And in the context of my own syste, the ML-2 are clearly superior to everything else
I'd be very surprised if Franks turned out to be a better amplifier, than ML-2 in the same system.
But that is just an opinion.

And, of course, I meant to say "multiple"

After much thought, I finally called my friend to accept his offer. He did not hear back from me right away so he sold the amps to his nephew. Guess the Lamm's were not in the cards.
Thanks for all the well received thoughts from all you guys.

Are you disappointed Markus? I think it would have been an informative and
fun experience hearing them in your very nice system. There'll be other
opportunities.

I feel your lose. Ask your friend if you can get in touch with his nephew, you never know when things may change.
