Lamm ML2 Vs Tenor 75

I have listened to both amps in different environments and have enjoyed both immensely but have never had the opportunity to A/B them. Are the performance differences between them so small that comparisons are pointless or are there real distinctions worth noting?

Does anyone have experience with the Tenors driving Quad 989's? Although the Quad is relatively efficient, does the impedance, rated "nominal 8 ohms", but I fear lower, create a potential problem for the Tenors?
Also, does anyone have an amp recommendation for the Quad?
The Lamm's?

Thanks

Tireguy,
I think you are on the money regarding the Tenor OTL's. If properly matched they can be stunning, but any deviation from the groove and the magic is gone. I actually heard the new hybrids in San Francisco last month in a show environment driving the Kharma, and they were impressive.Actually the entire system was impressive.
If they are stable and don't exhibit any solid state character, they are probably worth looking into. It is my understanding the outputs use transistors, which makes me question if the sound quality is really there.
