RE: Have to take the Lamm M1.1 off my list

What could be less demanding than an Apogee Studio Grand?? It is a nearly flat 5 ohm load that is the closest any amp will ever see to a plain old resistor when hooked up to a speaker. It is a moderate 87db/watt as well.

The Thiel is not THAT demanding of a speaker and the LAMM still puts out over 200 watts into 2 ohms (yes we used the 1-6 ohm setting although that might not be the best sounding setting) and you think this is insufficient?? For driving a rock concert in a stadium perhaps but at home it is more than enough. We weren't even stressing the amps at the levels we listen.

Show me some evidence that these moderately powerful monoblocks are insufficient to drive tough loads. The measurements don't say this.
