| Lamm ML2.1 Tubes So far, the Tele 12AX7 ribbed plate is best in my ML2; many others prefer the smooth plate Tele, but I've not tried that yet. I like the Mullard CV4004 in my phono stage, but did not think to try it in the Lamms...hmmm. | |
| Amplifier for avantegarde duo 2.2? Best in my experience is the Lamm ML2; others include Art Audio PX-25 and Audiopax 88. | |
| If you had 10k to spend on tube amp????? Assuming compatible speakers, a pair of used Lamm ML2s can be had in that range. | |
| Driven to Tears I have had this experience, the first time in front of a grown man (who was then a stranger) who was demoing the Avantgarde Duos for me...surprise, surprise, I bought 'em!Tubes, high efficiency horns and a refined front end can cause this most wel... | |
| Cary SLP-98 preamp with Mcintosh Amp I've used mine with Cary 300-SE and Lamm ML2 - no compatability issues. The independent R&L gain feature of the SLP-98 comes in very handy indeed! | |
| Amplifier for Avantgarde Duos As Cmo says, Art Audio PX25 is a great choice...also Audiopax 88s, and the best I've heard with Duos: Lamm ML-2. | |
| Golden Tube amps I have an old SE-40 (parallel single-ended 40 wpc stereo) which sounded glorious, especially for the coin...but the circuit was unreliable and I threw in the towel after having it repaired twice.It's still in my garage in Boca Raton, FL, free to a... | |
| Power amp for Reference 3A speakers? I had very good results with 8wpc 300B monos - a little more power might be best. Tubes rule. | |
| Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1 I'm a car guy too, 24 year PCA member and currently drive a 2004 Porsche 911 (40th Anniversary Edition). My next will be a 997S, or possibly a GT3...expensive hobbies we have, no? | |
| Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1 Oneob, you are a lucky man indeed...enjoy! | |
| Lamm ML1.1 & ML 2.1 Agree with jason and oneobgyn above - ML2 (I have the older version) is magic with Duo Omegas. The ML3 is not even a consideration for me - for that money, I'd get a Porsche 997 GT3! | |
| Tube CD player w/ balanced output Stretch your budget and look for used BAT VK-D5SE. Magic! | |
| Edgy, bright highs on Avantgarde Duos The Duos will reveal any shortcomings upstream. If you have a zippy SS amp or pre, it will be laid bare.Be sure that the speakers are properly set up (leveled, speaker wire from amp to mid horn, jumpers from mid to tweeter and sub, distance betwee... | |
| any BluRay players w/SILVER faceplate? Thanks, Ekobesky! | |
| Quad ESL 2805 or Avantgarde uno Horn? Your room is certainly big enough for the Unos (sit 12' away for best results).Must correct Amfibius' post above - the sub crossover is adjustable on the Avantgardes, and mine is usually set at 140 Hz. Also, Rodman's statement that a separate sub ... |
