Tubed amps for WP7s
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 us...

set vs otl, which is the most musical
I completely disagreeI have Lamm ML 2.1's at 18 wpc driving my behemoth Wilson X-2 Alexandria speakers. I have owned literally every high end amp available and I can say that I will never buy another amp. These are as good as it gets.Bear in mind ...
