Which Lamm should I add to the flock?

I have a Classe' 301 amp, an Audio Aero Capitale C.D player which I use as the pre, and Piega P10 speakers. The Classe' had lemoned on me again, to the shop for the last time. I heard Tenor 75wp with this same setup, and it was beautiful. I am leaning toward the Lamm's, but this is where my ignorance shows. The ML2's or the ML1.1's? This is a major purchase for me (hopefully the last for years to come with amps), someday to replace the p10's. Thanks for any help and suggestions.

I have not heard the all tube Lamm's but I have the 1.2 reference amps and they are the best amps I have ever heard. They are warm but not hot as long as they are not in a cabinett to allow the heat to dissapate. They are the best amps spacailly I have ever heard. I still can't believe what they do to music. You can not go wrong with these amps.

I had mine in a cabinet. There was no overheating but I have a bunch of collectable tuners in it so I decided the heat was not a good thing for them. I do not know if I notice any difference in sound moving them out. Almost everyone I know that owns Lamms, uses Silent Running Audio amp stands. I just ordered a pair and they will be here in a week. I think you will be fine leaving them in the cabinet. I am really interested in what you think of the sound. I was immediately blown away.
