Ken,

Lamm ML1 is always was a mystery for me. ML1 is very far from ML2 performance-wise. From what I understand the ML1 is basically is M1.1 modification with tubes output. I have seen a few times when ML1 performed better then M1.1 and at the same time I have seen as M1.1 performed more interesting then ML1. To my big surprise the M1.1 did not overperformed ML1 against complex loads but in the completely unpredictable cases. ML1 is kind of softer then M1.1 with better bas but I feel that M1.1 is more balanced. Still it all would dispend the conditions that I never was able to clearly grasp probably because I never had my own ML1 and all my listenings were in context of somebody else’s playback.  I have seen as ML1 was flailing in number occasions but I do not know how typical it is. In the end I do not think that might be useful for you. At the used market old version of ML1 run around $6-$7k and keep falling. What else can you get for this money of for double of this money? Well, “everything is a compromise” it is true, but when you talk about compromises you are talking about purchasing decisions not about abstract sound. So, I really do not know where ML1 would be in your scale of your compromises.

Recommendations? I do not do purchase advisement, sorry.
