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?

Since your mentioned SET, I assume we are talking about the ML2.2, not the M2.2.

I like the ML2.2 a lot, and it is a very excellent sounding amplifier. I do however, find it way over priced, therefore, it would need to be a "VERY" good deal for me to consider a move.

Charles, no I have not heard the Lamm’s with the TE. My friend runs his Lamm 2.1 with Verity Audio Lohengrin IIS speakers. He also has a pair of Tenor Audio amps. He is the same guy who just bought the Wyetech Ruby STD which I will hear this coming weekend.

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

Markus1229, how much is he asking? If the price is really good, then there would be little downside in purchasing them and trying them out. Well priced Lamm's are always in demand should you choose another direction.

Take a drive to visit your friend and bring home the amps to avoid any shipping damage. If you don't have the time, hire a neighbor’s kid to make the drive. If the amps reputation holds up, it's only going to be a one way trip.
