I sold my Lamm ML3's and this morning I was starting the packing process, first carefully putting the tubes in the correct boxes (lots of tubes). then moving the amplifier chassis out from near the speakers. yesterday I had returned the VAC Statement 450's to my friend as he has a few interested buyers.
the big 200+ pound VAC's + the 2 chassis (each side) ML3's had been on either side of my MM7's. unplugged and turned off.
so no more tube amps or their transformers near my speakers.
i had the same digital Beethoven file playing before and after i moved my Lamm amp chassis this morning, and there was a very noticeable and significant improvement in the liveliness and inner tonal glow and energy projection of the music after those amp chassis left the proximity of my speakers.
i had had a couple visitors mention that might happen and so after i thought about it, it's not a complete surprise......but still i had not had a thought to expect it. and it was more dramatic than i would have expected.
YMMV and i could be just imagining things. and i doubt it has anything to do with tubes or solid state. just how magnets in speakers (and maybe crossover components) might be effected.
And.....it could even be a proximity issue with the dart monos too.
