Your choice for SET amp?


If you could choose Von Schweikert DB99 with the ribbon tweeter upgrade or Avantgarde Duo 3.1 for the same price to mate with a pair of Lamm ML2 which one would you take.

I am looking for the right speakers in my system which is EMM Labs front end and Lamm ML2. Any advice or first hand experience would be great....Thanks

Jeffrey, I believe if you read the post he states twice that he has Lamm ML2 power amps, about 20 watts.

I've heard both (own duos) and I don't think there is any contest. Although not needed to drive them to full volume, the extra power will really make the duos open up. Properly set up they will beat the pants off the dB99.
Yes Art, as Boa says setup is critical. They can sound really bad; bloated, harsh, disjointed, and/or bright if mated with poor equipment or improperly set up. Set them up properly in a properly treated room and mate them with good gear/cables and you will be very happy. I don't see that as a drawback, just part of the process.

Sorry if I offended anybody about the Lamms. I wasn't sure either so I went to the Lamm website and looked it up.
