CES 2012 – Lamm, Vertity Audio, Kronos, Kubala-Sosna
In this room Lamm showed two pairs of their ML2.2 amplifiers driving Verity’s statement Lohengrin loudspeakers. Kubals-Sosna cables and NEODIO digital. This is all the same as it was last year, near as I can tell, and the sound was also very similar if not exactly the same as last year. The major difference here was the Kronos turntable instead of the DaVinci turntable last year.
Like last year, then, the sound was was rich and well articulated. In many ways this is the prototypical Lamm show sound – a little laid back, relaxing, hypnotic, musical, with enough depth of character to keep one there for hours if one did not have a zillion other rooms to see.
This is the view from the couch:: Lamm ML2.2 amplifiers on Verity Lohengrin speakers.
