Alexx and Lamm ML1?

Karma MIDI Exquisite. Wonderful sound, just a bit ‘thin’ when playing full orchestral pieces. 

There is always Lamm M1.2/2.2.

Spoke to engineer at Lamm. He feels the combo should be fine with my room and moderate listening levels. Also spoke to Tyler and Trent at Wilson. Both felt that the combo should be fine. Trent is using Lamm M1.2 (hybrid with 220W into 4 ohms) to drive Alexx. He is very happy with unparalleled musicality of LAMM and feels there is no lack of performance at all with Alexx. Trent also relayed his experience using LM2.1 which he felt was most musical amps. He used these 18W tubes to drive Maxx 3. He said about five percent of tracks were ‘affected’ by low power and the rest were fine. 
I don not like it loud. And it would make an emotional re adjustment to part with LAMMs given how much I love what they do. I guess the proof is in the pudding. Will have to try them with ML1’s. We can always cross the bridge later if it comes to it. Fingers crossed. 

Mid May delivery. Stand by:).

Got my giants yesterday! Delay was due to prior owner’s new Alexx V’s being late on production due to some metal shortages.
Sound stage is much bigger and thicker then the Karma Midi Exquisites that used to be. I do not perceive any struggle for dynamic power. Sound is full, fat and big. (I do have PS Audio P20 Regenerator with dedicated 20 Amp line, Tchernov power cables, L2 Ref Lamm Pre Amp, TW Acoustics front end.)
More details in the far reaches of the stage (chorus voices much better separated on the upper lateral rangs of the Requiem Recording in Mormon Temple for e.g.)
Warm up period seems to have become even more crucial.
Cruising thru thirty records so far with no sign of fatigue. My system and brain are still adjusting to the new upgrade:).
Having said all that, the ugly in me is still wondering if more power will make it even better:). If this idea continues to keep me up at night I will have to at least demo a more powerful Amps option...

Got the Lamm M1.2 into the system. This is clearly the right amp for the system (LP1.2 phono, L2 ref preamp and M1.2ref). The synergy is magical. Power wise, I have trouble getting past 25% on the volume dial as it gets too loud (room is 12’ by 24’ with 9-16’ vaulted ceiling.)

From my cold dead hand:)
