Description

It is now 2015 and I have finished my Lamm Signature Triad(ML3,LL1,LP1)It is without a doubt the finest I have seen or heard,I am done with electronics.I am still using the Avalon Isis,it just grows on you and never gets old.I am still up to date on my Walker MKV,I added the oiless and carefree compresser,what a dream.I added a second Troy signature for the ML3s and it works superb,I also am using 4 Thor SE grounding cables in the system and they are a tremendous achievement.I am using Dalby audio single and Duo isolation feet under all my components,they are a component unto themselves.And last but not least the latest and greatest Elrod Diamond cabling to tie it all together.I almost forgot the MD 809 Internet Tuner,a real work or art.

I will add new pictures in a short while.

Regards Robert

Malcolm are you suggesting that Strapping doesn't know what he's hearing despite having both amplifiers in his system driving the same speaker ? It's conceivable the Lamm could have the superior designed /quality power supply and mated superbly with his speaker's load characteristics. More watts doesn't 'always' mean better bass , there are other factors to consider.

Dev,
You beat me to that question. Such a discrepancy in output power between the two amplifiers , any tradeoffs driving your speakers as a result? The Lamm seems to be a fabulous design.

The CAT amp and the Lamm are so different in power rating,topology,power supply configuration and design concept etc. This should be a very interesting contrast in ability to drive the Avalon and which match reproduces music more convincingly.

Hello Robert,
A tube amplifier with stout power supplies and premium transformers with a 4 ohm tap and you`re ready for business. +1 Agear`s comment.

Strapper211,
If your Avalon has relatively high and flat impedance curve with gentle phase angles,that`d be ideal.I`d give up a few db of sensitivity as a trade off to obtain compatible impedance characteristics. That`s what really determines ease of amplifier/speaker drive result.
