Romy openly discussed a bunch of the nonsense in the hobby/industry and was banned in a few places. His was another opinion, sometimes quite refreshing.
Look at goodsoundclub and you will find over 10,000 posts from Romy the Cat.
For example his topic about using Vitavox S2, you will find Romy put lots of time and effort for every subject.
He was the first who introduced me the DPOLS concept.

Including this one :
“ Now, the S2 covers the range from 700Hz (6dB) to 12KHz with quite interesting benefit at the bottom knee. However, what I found surprising that the upper knee harshness now is way less aggressive then I anticipated and then I remember. Last time I did it those experiment 3 years ago and I remember that the harshness was un-handleable. There was nothing changed since then besides introduction of Melquiades and getting rid of the Lamm preamp from my system. I do not think that Melquiades might be a factor (?!) in it. However, the L2's brutality at high frequency (with it rusty, "afterburned" sound) is something that very well documented and proved by me and I am sure that it was it.
The L2 preamp had wrongly designed PS that made very difficult to get any civilized sound out of is if the tubes were more then 2-3 weeks old; also that preamp was hugely susceptive to the imperfections of power lines.
Still I feel that there is something in S2's upper range that is not "kosher" and I will be working on it for next few days. The Jensen cap should burn in, a proper way of using the HF resonator/tweeter should be found, the ways to deal with S2's 10Khz small pick should be discovered. I would need a few days to fugue the things out and will be reporting the results. However, the major revision that I would like to make is that the original diaphragms that Vitavox used in thier S2 are not as unusable as I initially thought. The Lamm L2 screwed me up in very many different things and this was one of them.”
Designing a 6way horn loudspeaker and multi channel DSET amplifier needs lots of time and effort and many trial and error.

6 way ! serious amount of handoffs taking place between drivers ....
Romy had a very complicated relationship with Vladimir Lamm. You can see how his opinions take a dramatic turn.
I heard his six way horn system. He was very curious to hear my original ML2 and Vitavox corner horns, but he has moved and I don’t have his contact information. I think his website went dormant.

Peter,
I think all of us have different experience and there are many examples like these:
I like kondo amplifiers but Romy does not like Kondo amplifiers
I like TAD Be drivers but Romy does not like metal drivers
I never had Lamm ML3 + Lamm Pre + Phono but I am 90% sure I will like it if I listen to Lamm ML3 but Romy just like Old version of Lamm ML2.
I read goodsoundclub because there are many many useful information there.

Here is a new system video of what seems like a fairly simple song. I just love the nuance and beauty of that voice and those bass notes.

If you really want to contact him, rather than pay lip service, it's pretty easy to do on his website.

I’m not saying that won’t work, but when I met him a year or so ago, he said he hadn’t been on the website in years. Perhaps he is more active now.

It would be interesting to hear a recording of a single speaker (just unplug one channel). Have you ever tried?
It seems the X factor is about mixing two channels in a special way and applying the result to each channel. X factor just used in Pre-amplifier not other Lamm products. I learn from you if I am wrong .
There are many parameters that affect on the sound but with my limited information I guess the Natural sound of Lamm is more about harmonic distortion shapes of Lamm products.
Audiopax amplifier measurements are similar to Lamm except in bass response.
