This was one of the amps I heard with the Sasha's before I went ahead with the Lamm 1.2.

This is a very nice amp, extremely quick and detailed with a top end to die for. In the end, I didn't think it had enough down below to get the best bass out of the Sasha's.

With the right speakers, this is an amp you really want to consider and listen to.

Thanks for sharing your perceptions about these two amps. Very interesting!

The Lamm M1.2's are the best amps I've ever heard and I've been intrigued about how they'd compare to the VTL MB-450's ever since the Mk III iteration was introduced.:scratch2: Now I know!

By the way, I hate emoticons:icon_thumbsdown: so to everyone reading... please don't say "Welcome to the forum":wave:as it's not a good idea, not original and seems somewhat superficial:no:
