Your choice for SET amp?

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.

Just want to support the DB-99 here by saying that the Avantgarde Duo is twice the cost of the DB-99. So we aren't realy comparing apples to apples here. What I would most like to know is where do I find the Avantgarde Duo 3.1 for about 9K?????? Please???

Close enough, Tickfight?

Hey, thanks Boa2!! Now I see why Delancey is asking the question. Hummmm half price...used is nice! I shall go do some research.

The Duo's can be had for $9-10K used, generally. The Uno's for maybe $7500-8000, rough numbers obviously. Shall we wish you good luck in your hunt, or did you end up with the DB-99? And what amp did you end up pairing with those VS's?
