Lamm 1.2 Reference Monoblocks
 

As some of you may know, I have spent the last 12-18 months on a quest to begin the upgrade process and take my rig into the 21st century. To say my rig needs updating, is really an understatement. And while my system has provided countless hours of enjoyment, and owes me not a dime, I cannot say without any more fervor, it is time and has been a long time coming. And I don't think I will get my arguments from you fellow AA's regarding my current system of:

Hafler DH 500 amp
McIntosh C-29 pre
Thiel 3.6 speakers
Pioneer Elite DV-45A CD/DVD player
Audioquest cables

So my journey has crossed 18 states (I do alot of business travel) and along the way I have listened to many top brands, MBL, Boulder, Naim, Mark Levinson, VTL, Krell, McIntosh, Lamm, Audio Research, Spectral, Wilson, Nola, Sonus Faber, Dan D'Agostino, Magico just to name a few. And if I have learned 1 thing from this experience and especially this board, is that system synergy is key.

So here's good news: I have decided to buiild the system around Wilson Sasha's, driven by Lamm 1.2 Reference Monoblocks with an Audio Research Ref 5.

The bad news is that I can't buy everything at once. But I have made the first big step and found an excellet deal on a used pair of the Lamm 1.2s.

Amps should be here Thursday!

Can't friggin wait!

Buying used equipment is an excellent way to get into very good equipment if you know what you're looking for and know how to recognize a good deal... sounds like you have an excellent plan and an excellent beginning.... looking forward to hearing how your search prospers in the weeks/months to come.
:thumbsup:

Keep us posted Rich.... and of course we all need to see pics. ;)

Congrat's!

Rich...I believe that combo is as good as it gets. Congrats on the Lammies and hope you are able to put the other pieces together in short order.

Too cool!!

Thanks all for the well wishes.:thumbsup:

Rich.......Your plan is a good one, and your choices are excellent. Be prepared for those Lamm 1.2's to blow that Hafler out of the water like the US Navy after a Nigerian pirate boat. Looking forward to your comments as the system comes together. Good hunting. :thumbsup:

Sounds like a serious upgrade path with VERY SERIOUS components....

Everything that I have ever heard of the LAMM makes them sound wonderful.

The ARC is top shelf as well.

The Wilson's will be great with this gear.



Congrats...

Sashas and Lamm M1.2's. That is a winning combination in my book. Been there myself, still can't get that combo out of my head, it was spectacular. :thumbsup:

Rich.......Thinking about the preamp, I believe you are on to some serious synergy with the Audio Research Ref 5 and the Lamm 1.2's. I can't wait to hear how this arrangement sounds.
