I think it is both Product placement and stupidity.  Robert Harley has a room with tall ceilings and a lot of open space on the sides that suck out LF very strongly.

It is not huge room but it is way larger room for 94dB sensitive speakers as at LF in this time of room you need a good 150-200W. Well, unless Robert runs the room at 85dB of sound pressure... It is not about volume but about the fact that Lamms are IHT and they behave very ugly without any headroom. It is interesting that all those idiots who use to stocked up Magico and Kharma 4-Ohm crap nowadays are approached by Constellation dealers. As the result they do they are dumping their SET amplification and swear by high power Constellation.  It is as much predictable as laughable.

Anyhow I do not insist that in THAT room with Q7 and 20W Lamm Mr. Harley has bad sound but I do insist that sound of both  Q7 and Lamm might be significantly better if it was driver by power-sensitively appropriate combination.
