http://www.stereophile.com/content/lamm-ml22-monoblock-power-amplifier
“he ML2.2 didn’t just respect sonic colors and textures—it revered them, with greater saturation and depth than I recall from its predecessor. The new Lamm gave a compellingly rich, tactile account of the massed strings in Ferenc Fricsay’s posthumously released recording of Tchaikovsky’s Symphony 6, with the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra”
