JJ, I would consider PP or anything else if I could hypnotize myself into believing it works.

Decoud, I agree that those GM70 amps are interesting, and they might be a reasonably inexpensive platform, if nothing else.  Funny that the site is much less annoying than "domestic" sites...  I consider this a +!  Romy is right that there is still $$$ to be made by "screening and buffering" this stuff for the western markets. 

I am trying to recall various listening "sessions" that I paid very little attention to at the time.  For instance, a couple of years ago I was invited to join a local audio group for a session that turned out to be sponsored by a shop.  Sure, all the people were/are nice, but who can take this sort of thing seriously?  Anyway, this sort of thing is the only "listening out" I have done in years.

Again, one thing that sticks with me from the Lamms (and everything else, for that matter...) is the "back EMF" thing with the larger drivers, and/or X/Os.  I keep trying to imagine an amp that could effectively "make the speaker part of its circuit", which means maintaining its sonic bearings with a reactive load.  Yes, I know that amps that can do this sound like arc welders; or, they used to...
