In the Thread: Lamm Industries: a special interview with a special company
Post Subject: Above is an interesting take (on SET & amplification in gl)Posted by Gregm on: 1/14/2007
Romy notes:
The Lamm ML3 with it’s (looks like) composite driver stage might most likly to pump a lot of current and it would be so rational to put in there a second GM70 on the same chassis with own transformer, driving it from the same driver stage. The PS and the rest “support” is easy manageable
Actually, that could be a viable commercial product: a "stereo am"p allowing for four channels. One hi side, one low side, per channel.
Any moron purchasing this could be stratosphrically happy flabbergasting his pals by "passively biamping" his speakers with what looks like one amplifier!

any more or less serious multi-channel  speaker requires…. narrow bandwidth for each channel
BTW, another way of looking at the futility of driving a speaker with one wide-bandwidth full-range amplifier output can be inherently conceptual: the futility comes, not only from the uselessness of the wide-band set as Romy notes above; 
The conceptual futility is inherent before that stage: from the necessity to coherently drive many different drivers (with different characteristics, by definition and axiomatically) with the same single amplifier output...

Am I making sense? You cannot use a general, "one size fits all" (full range) signal to suit the many different tastes of electromechanical devices that follow (not to mention the passive component layers that precede them).

Not unles you had just one unit; but we don't.
As Rmy mentions, tailoring the many units to behave as one unit is universally accepted as a disastrous endeavour.
