Wavac MD-805m

Hello my friends!

I'm looking on any opinions regarding these wavac monoblocks (55W Single ended). I have found a great deal on them and I consider buying them. So my questions are:

1) What is you general opinion on these amps?
2) How do they compare with Lamm ML2.1 (that I have heard with my speakers and was satisifed)?
3) Will they drive my 93db Verity Sarastro at good levels (Above 100 db peaks)?
4) Until I buy the Wavac preamp I will use them straight from EMM LABS CDSA cd player. Will I be happy with that?

Thanks a lot guys!

Regards,

Michael

I couldnt wait so I finally bought the Wavac amp!

Amazing flat-musicallity and a great match for the Veritys.

By the way it handles the speakers easily, even at 1/4 of the volume I reach around 90db. With this amp you really dont neet to listen that loud...
And I'm still using it without a preamp.
Anybody knows which preamp is going to better with this amp than using it straight from the cd player?

Michael,
I was considering the Wavac 805 and the Lamm ML2.1. At the end I chose ML2.1. Since you heard both amps with your speakers, can you share your thoughts abt them and why you went with the Wavac?

As for the preamp, I can share that I heard at a friend's place where he used the EMM labs as the preamp. i was not impressed with that arrangement. Could certainly benefit from having a "real" preamp.
