Lamm Industries ML3 Signature Mono Amplifiers...Where are they made?

Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY United States Post Number: 2858 Registered: Oct-04 | I might have simply overlooked this detail due to the price, but are these manufactured in Brooklyn-NY? The address of the company is in a residential neighborhood, I think it's a private residence? Can this be something akin to a cottage industry? http://www.soundstage.com/revequip/lamm_ml3_signature.htm I'm probably wrong, but I might have heard these a few months back during my Wilson MAXX series-3 (?) audition. |

Equipment priced at this level always gets me thinking, what makes up the price: Is it the materials and components within? Is it the time to assemble? Is it to pay for the R&D? Or, is it just to push quality sounding gear to an unreachable and exclusive level? In other words, just a marketing scheme / approach where it's felt there would be more money in keeping it exclusive then manufacturing? I'd love to hear them, but unless I was worth millions, this wouldn't be anything I'd ever look at acquiring. |

I was not terribly impressed by the MAXX set-up in comparison the the ALEXANDRIA set-up, I'm pretty certain the amps were in the room, but I can't recall if I heard them or what they sounded like? |

But I do love the classic McIntosh logo (with the Gothic lettering) & the BLUE meters., I also love the nickle-plated finish of The 60th Anniversary Edition MC75. http://www.akfest.com/ |

Gold Member Username: ExerciseguyBrooklyn, NY United States Post Number: 2866 Registered: Oct-04 | If you spent $15K, I suspect it would. |

Platinum Member Username: NuckPost Number: 13406 Registered: Dec-04 | I saw one ad for the anniversary set for 12K USD. That seems a little closer to reality...but not my reality, unfortunately. Funny, for 15K the word reality wants to spell as realty. Huh. |
