Lamm ML2.1 and Avalon Eidolon ?


I know that most of you will say that I sould get the Lamm M1.2 instead. The problem is that ... I already HAVE Lamm M1.2. It is a great amp but it still misses some soundstaging and midrange magic SET amps are famous for.

I'm curious If anyone actualy TRIED that combination ? My room is relatively small (14x19 feet) and I do not really listen loud. So far I have tried with great succes 16W parallel 300B amp and GM70 based, 30W SET amp, so limited wattage of ML2.1 shouldn't really be a problem.

(I know that 16W and Avalons may sound crazy for some ppl, but they worked GREAT).

Elberoth,

You are obviously taking a very careful and thoughtful approach in the construction of your room and its design. It looks beautiful and I'm sure it will sound wonderful.

No offence, but I wonder if you should hold off changing your amps. I know some on Audiogon change their equipment as frequent as I change underwear ... but I know you are more thoughtful than that. Yet, you have recently been posting about a number of SET amps, since you purchased your Lamm M1.2's.

I would wait until the room is complete and you have a chance to listen for a few months. Perhaps, relooking at the preamp may accomplish what you are looking for in the presentation and midrange magic, without second guessing your amp.

Regards,

Lawrence
