Wavac MD-805m

Hello my friends!

I'm looking on any opinions regarding these wavac monoblocks (55W Single ended). I have found a great deal on them and I consider buying them. So my questions are:

1) What is you general opinion on these amps?
2) How do they compare with Lamm ML2.1 (that I have heard with my speakers and was satisifed)?
3) Will they drive my 93db Verity Sarastro at good levels (Above 100 db peaks)?
4) Until I buy the Wavac preamp I will use them straight from EMM LABS CDSA cd player. Will I be happy with that?

Thanks a lot guys!

Regards,

Michael

Michael,
I was considering the Wavac 805 and the Lamm ML2.1. At the end I chose ML2.1. Since you heard both amps with your speakers, can you share your thoughts abt them and why you went with the Wavac?

As for the preamp, I can share that I heard at a friend's place where he used the EMM labs as the preamp. i was not impressed with that arrangement. Could certainly benefit from having a "real" preamp.

Michael, the Wavac costs 2/3 of the Lamm. With so much more power to spare, the Wavac seems like a great bargain. Unfortunately I never had a chance to do a AB comparison with my speakers.I did hear some people say the Wavac can drive my Kharma very nicely.
My friend has the Marten Coltranes and he uses the Vitus solid state monoblocks.
