Have you considered an used M800A?, puts more in Class A (and heat) than M900u and outperforms its own spec by margin as measured by Stereophile.
Luxman m-900u owners - quick question
Looking for some feedback on owners of this amplifier. I am not looking for the '' dealer lingo '' that I have been getting ; '' sweet amp, the best that is out there, will give you a great deal , I sold a bunch of them in the last month ''....blah, blah, blah.....
So what made you buy this amp is what I would like to know from owners who have them. What made you take this one instead of others in this price range ….and do you have to match it with the Luxman C-900 u pre-amp for the best results ?
Thank you

@garebear did you ever hear about Coda 15.5?. Class A up-to 100 Watts into 8 Ohms and then Class AB till 150 Watts into 8 Ohm, less than 50% retail compared to Luxman M-900u btw. If you want to compare options and want first watts to be pure Class A. |
I can concur with nebob's findings but while driving my M-700u with a Chord Dave versus the C-900u. The Dave was slightly more immediate sounding but ironically at the expensive of the utmost control of the stands of the music. Soundstage with the C-900u was also much more enveloping, with greater ease yet oddly more drive to the music. I also found that the C-900u conveyed all the detail of the Dave in a more emotionally engaging way, effortless. |
