Wavac MD-805m

Hello my friends!

I'm looking on any opinions regarding these wavac monoblocks (55W Single ended). I have found a great deal on them and I consider buying them. So my questions are:

1) What is you general opinion on these amps?
2) How do they compare with Lamm ML2.1 (that I have heard with my speakers and was satisifed)?
3) Will they drive my 93db Verity Sarastro at good levels (Above 100 db peaks)?
4) Until I buy the Wavac preamp I will use them straight from EMM LABS CDSA cd player. Will I be happy with that?

Thanks a lot guys!

Regards,

Michael

It's not that much of a bargain. The wavac costs 24.000$ and the Lamm I think 30.000$.
Both amps are excellent! I guess the only true difference between the two amps is their watts.
Based ony my experience with that kharmas, the only thing I am sure is that I would never use them with solid state amps.
Regards,

Michael

I am looking at the 805M too, having heard it at the London HiFi show recently. It looks and sounds wonderful. If only it had more than 1 input, you could do away with a pre amp. If you have sensitive speakers, the 300B integrated sounds wonderful too, at a far cheaper price, but I think it is only 10watts

David I assure you it has lots of power and an absolutely world class sound. It is the flattest valve I have heard, the deepest sounstage I have heard, accuracy, detail, and EMOTION.
