Strapper211s all out effort at Nirvana

by strapper211 on All Out Assault

Description

It is now 2015 and I have finished my Lamm Signature Triad(ML3,LL1,LP1)It is without a doubt the finest I have seen or heard,I am done with electronics.I am still using the Avalon Isis,it just grows on you and never gets old.I am still up to date on my Walker MKV,I added the oiless and carefree compresser,what a dream.I added a second Troy signature for the ML3s and it works superb,I also am using 4 Thor SE grounding cables in the system and they are a tremendous achievement.I am using Dalby audio single and Duo isolation feet under all my components,they are a component unto themselves.And last but not least the latest and greatest Elrod Diamond cabling to tie it all together.I almost forgot the MD 809 Internet Tuner,a real work or art.

I will add new pictures in a short while.

I have heard Avalons can be tough to drive...purely as a guess, I think its the extremely quality of your ML3s which is going the extra several miles to deliver every bit of 32 watts with untold power reserves to ensure those 32 watts are full 32 watts.

In other words, the ML3 have all the necessary peak dynamic range to make sure that, at 32 watts, the entire spectrum of dynamics in a piece is still played 'perfectly' within the proper dynamic peaks of the base 32 watts. That gives you a 'base volume' of 95db +/- (low level lawnmower?) setting aside listening distance, etc..and if the ML3 can allow for a musical dynamic range of 30db+/- you are in great shape!!

Great stuff, JFrech. I honestly can say I can THIS CLOSE to ML2.2s a while back as Oneobgyn knows as he kindly offered me good counsel at the time. I had no opportunity to hear them and buying blind while probably would have been perfectly fine...just made me too unsure to put up that kind of money (even 2nd hand).

Plus, I wanted the flexibility to drive a less efficient speaker than my current Wilson Grand Slamms. If I did not have an inkling I might switch speakers someday...I probably could have gone for the Lamm setup 'blind' given the incredibly uniform set of compliments about Lamm/Wilson I have read over the years.

Beautiful stuff, Steve!!

Strapper211, I sent you a message via Audiogon to your Audiogon Inbox. Thanks for any advice on your Tripoint Troy!

Good luck Strapper211! Look forward to your thoughts after listening to the ML3s for some time with your system.

Strapper211,

Fantastic system...your utter commitment to the best has really paid off. As for Lamms, speak with Oneobgyn...who also founded whatsbestforum. he uses the ML3 with his X2s...more efficient and probably a kinder load...but anyone who has ever heard his system even in his prior room which was larger has said it never showed the slightest flinch when pushed beyond deafening levels. always in control at any volume or dynamic range.

I suspect with your Avalon's which are supposedly tougher load, you could well still be fine...the current capability of the ML3 seems pretty great from what i'm told. But again speak with Oneobgyn (or Vladmir directly).
