Amp recommendation for Alon Circe?

I would agree with the VTL recommendation, as well as Audio Research VT200s, both of which I have heard with the Circes and think sounded quite good with them. I agree, nice choice in speakers, great ones for listening to music.

The Lamms are better than the other amps mentioned, although I'd stretch to get the ML1s (used) if I were going that route. They are superb amplifiers.

I unfortunately haven't heard the combination of the Circes with Lamm, by the time my dealer started carrying Lamm he'd sold his Circes. If Vlad feels the 1.1 is a better match for that speaker, I'd tend to go with his recommendation, he knows best the capabilities of his amplifiers, and the review was right, there's not a huge difference between the ML1s and the M1.1s in the auditioning I've had. I've owned my ML1s for about 6 months, and have been amazed at how good these amps, and all the Lamm products, are. I recognize that they might not work with every speaker, but they are so good on the Wilsons, Dynaudio Temptations and my speakers that I would expect they'd sound great on virtually any well-designed speaker. Perhaps there's someone in the Seattle area who owns a pair that you could arrange an audition with.
