Which Lamm should I add to the flock?

I run my AA Capitole direct to Lamm M 1.2
The combination of tube and solid state is just fabulous
I asked Vladimir about changing to the ML tubes
I won't give his exact response but I still own the 1.2's
I've auditioned a lot of great amps None sound better to me than the Lamm M1.2

I second the 1.2 Refs - they are incredible and a noticeable improvement from my former 1.1s - which I owned for 5 years. They are more much more powerful than their conservative 110 watt rating. I also have the Tenor 300 watt hybrids and the Lamm 1.2s drive my speakers just as easily and with just as much authority.

Since the 1.2 Refs are virtually all Class A whereas the 2.1s are not, I think you will get a bit better sound from the 1.2s but if you need the extra power you don't give up too much with the 2.1s.

Good luck with your search - I don't know of too many Lamm owners who are unhappy. Not that reviews are the be all and end all, but have you EVER seen an even remotely negative review of a Lamm amp?

I have not heard the all tube Lamm's but I have the 1.2 reference amps and they are the best amps I have ever heard. They are warm but not hot as long as they are not in a cabinett to allow the heat to dissapate. They are the best amps spacailly I have ever heard. I still can't believe what they do to music. You can not go wrong with these amps.

Thanks everyone. These are the opinions I so wanted to hear. Now I just have to wait for them...Anticipation....

I assume by this that you have ordered some Lamms or made a decision ?
