Lamm always disappoints when I hear it, except at the CES demo referred to above.
There, playing Dead Can Dance, it was magical. I think Lamm needs to be very carefully matched to the rest if you want to own it. For me it's just not that good to bother |

That's too bad. I haven't listened to all of his products, I still use the original ML2 SET, which is very 'real' and musically and tonally correct, over a pair of very high efficiency horns.

I had a similar experience with Audio Research (REF 210s) driving the Q5's. The music just sounded slow and off. While the Magico's aren't my cup of tea (that's not to say they aren't a great speaker), they sounded significantly better paired with Boulder and Spectral. Rich

The best I've heard ML3s was in a friend's place in Danville. He had X2 Series 2s and a pair of JL Gothams.
If I were to pair an ML3 with a Q7, I would definitely bi-amp the bass modules. There's no way an ML3 could drive it by itself and have them sound their best. After all, IIRC the Q7 can be bi or even tri-amped unlike other models lines (M, rest of Q and S). Ken was doing this with the Magico Ultimates. Maybe Ken at Sound chamber just hadn't got to doing that yet. |

I just read a review of the Lamm 2.2's by Robert Harley and he used Magico Q7's...
