My lafayette collection
« 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 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.

I have fond memories of going to the Lafayette store that was located in Monroeville in the 60's............. Holy Crap! I'm old!

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.
