Scott, I certainly would like do not sound that I have any “Romy's approved amplifiers” or anything like this. ML2 is fine set but Lamm targeted it for speaker with sensitively of 90s. He went for getting a lot of power out this tube, using superfluous regulation and excessive plate current. Not to mention that Lamm did not have good drivers, used quite primitive and low query PSs, employed not the best sounding biasing and a feedback. As the result ML2 from my point of view has some very specific limitations performance-vise, although it WILL be hugely more interesting then DRD-300B, in fact it will be very very very very educational for you… and I wish each audio person would have a chance to experience the ML2 at one stage of his/her development of other….
If you insist me to endorse something then this is why I make my Melquiades amplifier publicly available. This amp is made to sound is very certain way and this sound present the best that have seen form SETs. Interestingly that the Milq is not design around the idiotic believes in quality of parts, directivity of the wires and other BS – but it made sound in the way how it sounds by totally different means – it could not be understand by reading the schismatic. If you get Melquiades in your listening room driving your Elgars and if you find any amps that would have more dynamics (and at the same time preserving everything else!) then please let me know.
Your feedback would be very much welcomed. I have a LOT of notes about my live with this amp….
