Re: Lynn Olsen designs vs. others

Hi Kurt,

I've build both the Amity and Karna, the former being much easier to get right. They are both wonderful amps with good tone and punch, capable of driving almost every speaker out there.
I also have a pair of ME2s which I really like, but prefer to listen to the Quad ESL57 now. The ME2s can be a little too polite sometimes.

As others said, if you choose to build one of these amps the iron is going to be a big factor as well as in performance as in costs. I started with all Lundahl iron, which is hard to beat at that price. A couple of months ago I changed the input transformer to a Tribute 1:1+1 and I can advise to get those from the start.

regards,
aj
