That's quite a big disadvantage from where I look at it.
The way you describe the speakers with all of your other amplifiers seems to match how I recall them sounding. I cannot imagine how the Lamm amplifier might sound with more revealing loudspeakers if it makes the SL600's sound correct. I suppose the question then is, does the SL600 then sound more correct than your normal system with 'better' amplifiers? Don't you still find the sound of the woofer to be too smeared, slow and dark?
There must also be some substantial attenuation (20 dB) being applied prior to your bass system to match its output to the Celestions. Isn't the effect of that audible?
Isn't the character of what the Celestions produce also radically different to that of your bass system?
This is an interesting and very worthwhile quest and I am enjoying hearing of your experiences. I look forward to the next installment.
