CES 2011 Coverage

Lamm introduced its new ML2.2 monoblocks.. These are an upgrade to its well received ML2.1s, and undoubtedly the bottom will fall of the market for them. Might be a good opportunity for someone who doesn’t have to have the latest iteration of whatever in their listening room to pick up a pair for a bargain.

Here you can see four of ML2.2s bi-amping the Verity Audio Lohengrin II loudspeakers ($95,995/pair). They were fronted by a Lamm LL1 Signature preamp ($42,690), Redpoint XX turntable ($75,000), and Neodio transport and DAC (together, $25,300). The setup would not have been complete without that $227,400 rat’s nest of power cables, interconnects and speaker cables from Stealth Audio, and the obligatory $40,000 of racks from Critical Mass. For $600,000 it should have sounded a whole lot better than it did. The word “ostentatious’ springs to mind.

Here is a close-up of the underside of a ML2.2 showing its construction.
