I have to somehow agree with Oneobgyn. I have had Lamm M1.2 Reference monos and have had absolutely no problems driving my 87dB efficient Avalons Eidolon Vision.
New monoblocs for Maxx II, which ones
The purchase of Wilson audio's Maxx II has me thinking about getting some new monoblocks. I already own ML 33s and ML 33h will sell the later. The ASR will stay as well.
I want to try some new designs and am having a tuff time deciding upon which one. The reason is strictly for change, eat the same food everyday you get my drift.
The list of amps are:
Ayre, Linn, Pass, Lamm.......
and also some tubed units:
Lamm, Air Tight, Audio Research, VTL, Covergent Audio...
Has anybody heard these paired together in a system, if so what impressions do you have.
Thanks for reading.

FWIW http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/lamm_m12_followup.htm http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/lamm_ml11.htm http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/rise39.htm Marc Mickelson uses ML 2.1's for his AXX ll's http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/wilson_maxx_2.htm I will say again, for my ears the ML 2.1 is simply the best amp yhat I have ever owned and I have owned many |
Elberoth2: Your Avalons are only a minimal 3.6ohm load the Lamm M1.2's will drive those perfectly, it's not the watts it is the current delivery with Wilson Maxx's and Watt Puppies 7's. My Watt Puppy 7 were a minimal 2.73 ohm load at 70hz. The Wilson Maxx II are a 3ohm minimal so they aren't as hard a load to drive, and therefore the M1.2 or M1.1's might work better, but unless you really need the extra 50watts of Class A, I would go with the M2.2 or M2.1's. But as others keep suggesting Lamm ML2.1'sound like the perfect match.... or big VTL's depending on your liking.. |
Unfortunatly I have yet to hear the ML 2.1. Have read lots of good things about it especially here on Agon. Next month I am making a trip down to Seattle to listen to the VTL's. It will be most interesting listening to them on the Maxx II. Definitive Audio carries both of these products. Anybody in the Pacific Northwest with Lamm ML 2.1 ? I sold my ML 33hs in 3 hrs so I will hunt for the Lamm ML 2.1's on Agon. This would be bought on the sole recommendations on all of you out there. Here goes.......... |
