Title: My lafayette collection
Post by: mikey813 on January 28, 2010, 12:15:23 PM

Hi, here is my Lafayette collection. I love the sound of Lafayette's for how small they are. Also in my opinion they are  beautiful pieces. I just got a Lafayette stereo-10a amp and a Lafayette La-224t amp. to add to my collection which already has a Lafayette lr-100 that I got from Dale and a Lafayette la-324a that I got at yard sale. here is a video of the Lafayette stereo-10a it is a very cool piece. Also, this is not me in the video. Vintage Lafayette amplifier and '80s Akai tuner (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Rzwrs2XArA&feature=related#ws) Here are some pics.

Sorry the pictures are not very good.

Thanks BB3. Also that Lafayette stereo-10a that I got from Tommy sounds amazing and is probably the best sounding Lafayette I had or have owned. I just wanted to through that in cause it is amazing.

Thanks Kingman and Ron. Like I said the Lafayette's are amazing and sound phenomenal. Also. in my opinion I think the 10a sound a little bit like a mix of a tube amp and a solid state amp.

The 10A does sound tube like, strange design, but good sound :D
