I have no experience with the Lamm ML-series, I just listened to an M-series hybrid amp combined with the Watt/Puppy 8. This performance was a single fake (though a pleasant one). I can´t say where was the fault, because this was also my only experience with Wilson. |

I never head or heard about Rank amplifiers. The idea to use 6N6P-6N6P- 6C33C for no-feedback design sounds about right but it is imposable to say anything about amp juts looking at it from Moon. Also, with all mine preference for no-feedback amps I have to admit that if I was a manufacture I would never produce no-feedback SETs as then way much more sensitive to exactness of load and require a fairly sensible person to use them.
The Lamm M1.1 was extremely interesting amp in fact I consider it the absolutely best buy with its $6K price range (used). It has many problems at First and Second Levels of listening perception (look for the thered “How to evaluate playback...”) but it has very interesting ability to “move target within the shooting range” (if you know what I mean). This quietly is superbly important and BTW disability to “move target” is one of the biggest Lamm ML2 shortcoming. I do not know what exactly you did not like in M1.1. The Watt/Puppy 8 are extremely horrible speakers. If you intend to run M1.1 with small Wilsons then try Watt/Puppy 5.3 with a few layers of toilet paper across the tweeters and properly positioned (superbly important). Any other small Wilson should be cut for firing wood.
