New Lamm M1.2 vs. M1.1

I listened to WP7's through the LAMM LL2 pre and ML1.1s with Siltech cables using a wide variey of music (excluding Rock and Rap) and never once felt the job wasn't being completed. I never turned the volume controls past 9 o'clock and the music was always fleshed out and dynamic. If you can swing the ML1.1s (now 2.2) do it. If you have a concern about power, get the M2.1/2.2. They are sonically close and over 200 watts but run Class A to around 30 or so watts of power. I own the M2.1s and drive Piega C10 Limiteds with them wonderfully. I was contemplating the WP7s with my LAMM gear because of the awesome experience I had at CSA Audio where I bought my LAMM LL2 preamp. It's going to be the WP7s against the ESP Loudspeakers Concert Grand SI. I can't wait.

Case closed! The ESP Loudspeakers Concert Grand SI wins out. Having a broken in pair of WP7's in my 25 by 16 room for a month I finally received the ESP speakers. I greatly respect the sound of the WP7's and yes they are better known but when it came down to the music, they were just not as involving as the ESP speakers. I found myself forgetting what I was trying to achieve in the audition and listening to the music. The WP7s never did that for me. The Concert Grands presented an great soundstage, exhibited speed and a very natural and organic performance with a wide variety of music. All that and they are sexy looking too! I haven't had the smaller Bodhrans here but hear they arre a tremendous value and preform in the same way. Seek out the ESP Loudspeakers. I'm glad I did!
