Best contemporary speaker under $100k for Lamm ML2.x type amplifiers?

[tima]

If I owned Lamm ML2 or ML.2.2 amplifiers what's a satisfying full range speaker under $50k and under $100k. (please, no subwoofers). Speaker should be available new with excellent manufacturer support. TIA

Doubt there are horns in your area to choose from with excellent manufacturer support. So you might have to stick to sensitive cones. If you ask Marc, it will be Zus. Those aside, you can try Stenheim Alumine 5. No idea if they work with Lamm but they are supposed to be 95 db easy to run. David used to match the Kharmas with Lamm before. Or you can try to bargain with Tang for his Cessaros

Personally my favorites at 100k would be Oswald Mill's Monarch (the ones that look like a butterfly)

Lumen White Mystere.



I listened once. Superb sounding. I like them more than my YG Sonja. Here is a review of a smaller model.

Tried and true, X2 S2

Oops, missed the new part! Sorry!

Ked, how about $100k on Zus in a multi channel setup? Gets my vote!

What is the approximate room size?

 

[morricab]

The Aries Cerat Symphonia starts at 85K Euro in Europe...not sure the US price. Might fit in your price range.

With 18W, you'll be pushing it with most cone speakers. I'd go with Avantgardes, Duo Mezzo or Trios even.
Evolution Acoustics MM2 or MM3 are fairly easy to drive, at 6 ohms too. Or you could investigate the new Devore Reference speakers that was shown at RMAF.

Oh you are not talking M2.2. Sorry.

Kind regards,

Have you heard or heard of Classic Audio Loudspeakers? (sometimes known as Classic Audio Reproduction CAR) Field coil driver. 16Ohm
They are in the state next to me. I don't much about them. They always show with Atma-Sphere.

Thanks Jack. I wish Alexia/Alexx were more efficient.

Very interesting, Tang - thanks for that. I see the Ayon chap is involved.

Yes I have heard them with the Atma amp in one set up but did not like. I prefer more open baffle horns.

Yes. Gerhard of Ayon is the international distributor for the LumenWhite. He is a regular in Bangkok. 60 watts SET with strong current can run the speakers flawlessly. Not a mainstream speaker. It has a magic of Zellaton with more bass at less than half the price. I asked if I could get these speakers with black drivers once. He said it's Lumen "WHITE."

Kind regards,
