As an ex owner of Lamms most powerful "tube" amp ML-1's (true hybrid) I would be concerned relative to the Rowland 9ti you are currently using and the difficult load the Avalons can present....I would tend to agree with the above post or, if you can bi-amp, consider SS on the bottom and tubes on the top.
Will Lamm amps drive power hungry speake
I am currently driving my Avalon Osiris speakers with Rowland 9 Ti monos through a Coherence 2 pre. Will the Lamms drive them, VERY power hungry, with authority? The other combo I was thinking of trying was the Audio Research 600 mk2 and the Ref2 pre. Why the change? just got my new turntable , and it is so much better than CD's that now I want to try tubes in my system.
