comparison between SS Spectral and LAMM tube amp

I am very interested to switch from SS to tube amplifier.
Please, may you describe, if is possible, the main differences you felt between Lamm and Spectral amplifiers?
My loudspeaker are Kharm 3.2 , I read many reviews in the past on the combo lamm / Kharma, but I'm interested in your feelings.

just few words about Eidolon/Spectral/MIT/Elrod PC's. The combo is fantastic!!! Spectrals powered by Elrod Power Cords and Eidolon are the perfect union. I cannot imagine how tube gears could give the same "sense of true".

What about Wavestream Kinetics V8 mono blocks. A friend just got them for his Avalons.

Hello,

Recently I acquired BAT Rex tube mono-block amps to drive my Eidolon Diamonds and along with the BAT Rex preamp the sound is simply extraordinary!!! You gotta' check out these amps.

I heard significant feedback about CAT Amplifiers/Avalon combo. Not about Lamm/Avalon combo.

There can be several reasons for it, different design for example, different output power and so on. Lamm Tube amps shine best with Speakers which were made for this kind of Design (simple X-over, higher sensitivity) and I think you are in a good situation with your Spectral combo. It is simply a good match with that Speaker.
