Lamm ML2.1 monos with MBL 101E, OPINIONS

Lamm ML2.1 Single Ended Triode Mono Amps, any one tried these amps with MBL 101E speakers.

I know they are 18 watts but I have learned that not all watts are equal.

I was just reading info. from another member where he said;

"Finally I would love to prove to you that my 18 wpc SET Lamm amps will light up your ears more so than the 600 wpc SS Boulder amp that you love so much."

Opinions welcome but kindly specifically related to these amps.

Tvad, you were being way too nice. These two pieces of equipment are not going to work well together.

The MBL 101E has a nominal 4 ohm impedance, and a sensitivity of 82 db. If you really want to use a Lamm amp, I think you should be looking at the hybrid Lamm M2.2 (220 wpc) monoblock amps, (and even then, I am not sure that will do this speaker justice). If it were me, I'd be looking at something with several hundred wpc.

Good Luck!

Oneobgyn,

Actually I had read your posts, and I knew that you had already said that it was the best amplifier you had ever heard, which is why I wrote my reply to you in the first place. (And, the reason that I said "Money not being an object", is that you had said it was terribly expensive and not a good example of it being a good "bang for the buck" amplifier - a SOTA piece of equipment never is!)

Merry Christmas!

Oneobgyn, I hereby call you a fibber!
(I prefer to not call a fellow Lamm owner a liar.)

You said you would "NEVER" change your Lamm ML 2.1 amplifiers.

Here is an amplifier I am sure you would swap out your amps for in the blink of an eye. (Money not being an object of course!)

Your new favorite amp!

;-)
