I explained why, your lack of understanding aside, your Dogma wont allow. Firstly i see we have /are talking past each other, for some reason i see your responses , then some only after answering , then noticed you already answered. Then i cant edit, then i cant find the post, then a day later it shows up.Pretty hard to have a conversation that way...
So i go again , the Lamm is really a 100 watt per channel amp , period, this is where it's best sonic merit will take place, it is also the point of lowest distortion, if you pay attn to it' distortion curve vs power.
Unfortunately Mr Cab, is not able to grasp this, the distortion rises pretty fast after the knee and in practical use, the sonic's of the amplfier, any and all amplfiers will change accordingly. From past measurements and observation , we have found that SS amps sound at their best when hovering around 33% of their rated 8 ohm output. If you look at the curves posted by Stereophile you will see the lowest point , then the curve starts to knee upward. This transition is where he will hear this sonic change. Now If Mr Cab , would actually measure his actual voltage in use with a meter or a scope he will see this for himself as he goes up and down with the volume.
250 watts@clipping is not enuff for a pr of scinnies to sound "alive" it will not happen , never heard that and i have measured and tested one, something Cab hasn't done and never will , well, only with conjecture.
The Bias /voltage Scheme used by Lamm is the issue IMO, you have to look at it's 8 ohm rating, you will see the tale and remember distortion goes up as you go thru Z-min, the Lamm is not what i would use on High current, Low-Z drive speakers, like 1 ohm apogee's.
So no I'm not surprised, Morricab is, put the Lamm on a 90db 8/4 ohm speaker and it will sound very different.
