Tubed amps for WP7s

If I am not mistaken I believe that the WP 7's have an impedance of 93 Db. I do agree however that Vladimir's M 1.2 Reference would probably work better here

Many times.

I don't disagree that it is a good amp. I just prefer my Lamm ML 2.1's and that is no disrespect to my friends Jonathan Tinn and Mike Lavigne. It just doesn't rock my sonic boat as do the Lamm.

The ML 2.1's are the most musical amp I have ever owned. They are in a league of their own. At 93Db efficiency on the WP 7, the ML 2.1 will drive them easily. Bear in mind however that they are an SET amp and only 18 wpc. As a result if you are used to the bass slam from a big SS amp you won't find that with the Lamm. Instead however will be a very well defined bass. I doubt if I will ever buy another amp.

Another option to consider is Vladimir's hybrid M1.2 reference. Also fantastic

"The 750s aren't the last word in detail but they are the last word in musicality at loud volumes."

It all depends on what your goals are. Do you want to listen at loud volumes or do you want detail? Personally I like the latter and for detail the ML 2.1 IMO is the last word. I must say as well that they can drive my X-2's to ear bleeding SPL at 18wpc

I owned the ARC Ref 600 Mk lll (predecessor to the 610), Indeed they were great but the heat given off by 31 tubes per amp (62 in all) was unbearable even after I installed a 3rd dedicated AC for m listening room. I was going to buy the 610's but did an about face and went with the Lamm ML 2.1 at 18 wpc. The best amp I have ever owned and would never change

"Though its SS its better sound than the tubes without the all the bullshit that tubes give"

I respectfully disagree
