Your choice for SET amp?

WHICH SET? How much power?????????

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.

I agree with Herman. Your digital front end and those amps are top shelf, world class stuff. My opinion is that, as good as the dB-99s are, set up properly and mated with those incredible Lamms, the Duos will leave the dB 99s in their wake. More dynamic, more realism, more impact and "you are thereness." I think that combo would be killer!

Boys, not every one of us knows that Lamm ML2s are SETs and have 20 Watts of power, or even that they're poweramps. This is what happens when people ask questions that lack basic information.

I read the subject question as which SET should I buy.

Oh well...I guess I'll quit trying to help answer incomplete questions like this.

I did not know that Lamm's are SET. I should have guessed because they sound so damn good!

Duo's sound has disappointed me at shows, but of course show situations are notorious for uneven sound quality. (Some of my favorite speakers have been unlistenable at shows.) Are the Duo's particular about location in a room, or certain qualities of the setup?

I remember that they (Avantguarde?) have a showroom some place in lower Manhattan. Someone clue me in as to location and I'll try to visit next time I'm in New York.

Thanks!
