What To Replace A Pair Of Lamm Ml2 Monoblocks With? Need More Power


Due to a move to a new house, and a far, far larger listening area, I've had to change speakers to get something that will optimally perform in the large space, which also features very high ceilings. I currently own the wonderful Lamm ML2 18wpc SET amps, and they are simply the finest amps I have ever owned, and perhaps ever heard. Sadly, they cannot begin to drive the speakers I purchased to meet the rooms demands. 

I am currently debating what would make sense to replace them with, which would still make me happy after experiencing the sound of the Lamm's for the past few years. I need something with at least 100wpc and I don't think anything solid state would satisfy my ears. Any recommendations or thoughts on the matter would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

The OP wants tube amps. Replace Vandersteen with Kharma and you will get great sound. This is a well known match - Lamm/Kharma/Purist Audio cables. Or Kubala-Sosna cables. Why lose one of the best amps ever made ?
Ypsilon hybrid. That's what some replace Lamm with. No idea how they would drive your speakers, though.
No one mentioned Allnic amps so I will. Again, no idea.
And final thought. Whatever you do keep the Lamm, you are unlikely to find a substitute. Yes, get rid of Vandesteen and find different speakers.
