Lamm LL2 Deluxe....

Assuming that this pre is in excellent condition, do you think $2500.00 if fair, or a little high since it is over 10 years old?

Seems like very little for that amount of time, but he has good feedback and I have no reason to doubt. There are people who have multiple preamps and other things that I would drool over, who don't use them for one reason or another. I just wanted opinions on that price, assuming that it's nearly perfect as it seems to be.

I have one pair of speakers that are really efficient horns, and 2 others that are just average. The new version has a switch that lowers the output drastically, but it's way out of my price range. I don't care about the remote, and actually love the dual volume controls, as I have them on a different pre and use them as a balance control. I wonder how much of an issue the output would be. I can't turn up the volume much on my current pre, but it sounds good.

I missed the obvious until you mentioned it. I just called Lamm, and spoke to his wife, and they can add the attenuation option for $245.00. He will also give it a thorough going over for another $120.00. Thanks Again, John

He can't add an actual switch on the front panel, but he can permanently lower the gain, which is fine with me because I will never need it to be high. He is really nice, and started working on it right away. He's going to give it a thorough going over and change a few electrolytics etc. Thanks again whart.
