LAMM2.1 with Tannoy Westminster Royal SE Speakers

Morganc ... I'm not familiar with the Melody M845 or the Coincident Frankensteins. I will go do some home work. Thank you for the recommendations.

I wouldn't describe it as " something missing " . I just think that the Sophia Electric 300B amplifiers offer a richer, fuller sound that has zero mechanical artifacts. Very natural sounding. I found the mono blocks that were reviewed to provide plenty of power for all kinds of music in a large room with 10 foot ceilings. Read the review that I mentioned.

I own yorkminsters and have the sophia 845. Sounds beautiful together and has loads of power. Goes nice and deep with much more character than ss bass. I also built a pair of 300b that I run as well. They also sound good but feel like they are working on complex passages. They also don't dig as deep. 845 is the way to go in my opinion. And I woundnt go anything but set after getting used to the mids. I also highly doubt that melody845 beat out a 20k pair of Sophia's. Maybe in reliability :) I have had issues with transformer failure on my Sophia's but I was informed that I was the only one.

Analogluvr, you are not the only one who has had transformer failure on Sophia amps. There are many more, just check out on Google. Sophia is not very ethical in the way they hide their flaws.
