HE 2001: Many Paths to Sonic Bliss
By Barry Willis
JMlab's Utopias in the Lamm Industries room occupy the other end of the hugeness scale. A J-10 favorite, they sounded marvelous driven by Lamm ML-2 monoblocks. Source was a dCS SACD transport, feeding a dCS Purcell/Elgar combo, in turn feeding a Lamm Reference preamp. FIM Gold cabling linked it all together. I neglected to calculate the system's total retail cost, but suffice it to say that it's out of reach for all but the most upscale audiophiles. (click here for a link to a fuller Stereophile report)
Analog Corner

August 2001 issue (Vol. 24/no. 8), page 44In no particular order*, and missing some associated gear:
.....
JMLab Utopia speakers/Lamm electronics
.....* The official "Best Sound at the Show" tally will appear in the September issue (JA)
Lamm Industries ran either their 18W ML2 single-ended amps ($29,290/pair) or their ML1 push-pull amps, good for 90W ($19,990/pair) and made beautiful sound through JMLab Utopias. Interestingly, the most requested amp was the lower-powered ML2, which evidently did the 92 dB-sensitive Utopias proud. (The dCS CD/SACD transport prototype, Elgar DAC, Purcell upsampler, Zoethecus v.5/R racks and amps stands, and FIM gold Series cables didn't hurt either.)
