Holo May KTE vs Lampizator?


How far up the Lampizator chain must I go to have an appreciable improvement over the May?

It depends on what you are looking for in terms of “improvement”. The presentation between the two brands are very different. In my experience, the May is a bit more forward, and can be just a tad brash up top. Lampi on the other hand starts on the warmer and not as resolving side, despite having a more magical midrange. 

To match the resolution of the May, you can likely get a Baltic 4 and invest about $1K-2K into tubes, and you might get similar resolution with a sweeter top end and better midrange magic. The Golden Atlantic TRP with premium tubes would sound even better, and more linear.
