Speakers for Lamm ML2.1

Acapellas also have problems: non-integrateable tweeters bult around the Chernobyl particles, the “washed” ceramic mid-range drivers and many others. There is really no interesting high sensitivity speaker out there. Look at your Lamm as an amplifier building company. They show after show, year after the year demonstrate quite ordinary not to sat crappy sound in their listening rooms. Among many reasons one of the most important that there are no good commercial speakers out there. Still, I feel that to search “a loudspeaker for ML2” is not really a correct shaping of objectives. Find a loudspeaker that would be fine “as is” and then let ML2 to do with it whatever it could. A little tip: it looks to me that Lamm loads his output stage to push up the harmonics. I do not know how he configures his secondary but I learn that by severely under-loading the out stage you might get way more interesting result then ML2 meant to yield. Therefore, look for the loudspeakers that do not drop less then 12R and load them at min secondary impedances. It would help you to get some transient speed and do not worry about the harmonics why you do so – the ML2 is reach enough in the harmonic juice….

Meant to say 9 there is no VS6. Acapellas also are interesting but my guess is they are not efficient enough Romy's comments are very apt when it comes to the ML2 as he has a lot of experience with them. At this level you should hear the combination yourself before making any purchase decisions, to the extent even of shipping out your amps to hear them to hear them at the dealers.

kharma midi exquisite.

If you search around for what people have said about the ML2.1's, you'll find that they can drive any fairly high sensitivity speaker to loud listening levels with little distortion. From what I've read, anything above about 90dB would probably work fine.

Any dealer who is going to sell you $50,000 speakers should let you bring the Lamm's in and audition the system for yourself.

May I suggest that you consider building the room before buying the speakers so that you can audition them in the new room?

Obviously I'm not the expert that Wright2005 is (ahem), so take my suggestions with a grain of salt.

Rumney510, be sure not to overlook the Sonus Faber Stradivari (92db)- I have been running them with Lamm ML2's/ Lamm Reference Pre since April last year and have never been happier. My room is 11m x 5m x 3m. I listen to jazz,female vocals and classical.They have absolutely no problem driving the Stradivari's to more than adequate levels.

I use Cardas Golden Reference IC's and Golden Cross speaker cable.
