Cary Audio Electronics Constellation
Can't comment directly on the Constellation, but if the Hercules amp is any indicator, then, damn great product for the price! I ordered a Hercules with the upgrades specified on the website: hexfred rectifiers, Cardas capacitors and WBT binding p... 
Luxman L505u . . . why not?
Hey Deaf in left eye, I beg to differ about Luxmans rep being ruined by Alpine after 1984. If i am not mistaken, the great M-05 105 watt per channel class A amp was made from 1984 to 1988. In fact, there is a professional reviewer who posts and sa...

Try Parasound JC-1s and true bi-wire them using one set of binding posts for the highs and the other for the lows. I am getting amazing results!

Hi Stanwal,Good advice! Thanks. 
Which amp is best to drive Magneplanar 1.6's?
I am using a Luxman M-05 at 105 w/ch class A power. I dont need a subwoofer. I agree with the plinius user. Good class A power at 100 w/ch or more will rock your world !

Pioneer M-22 or Pass Aleph 3?
Thanks Peter. I was considering the Aleph 3 as a replacement for the M-22 I have but I think I'll keep it! Exploring higher power class A amps and thinking of adding a Luxman M-05 to the collection. Leo

Welcome to the club! I have a pair in blonde oak. Look and sound great! I started with a 150 w/ch 8 ohms/ 300 w/ch 4 ohms integrated A308 from Musical Fidelity. It did a decent job in running the speakers but I could tell their was something missi... 
Experience with Musical Fidelity X-10v3?
I am using it with the PSU power supply between my MF A308 pre-amp and A308 power amp. What a difference!! Everything just came into focus. More depth and soundsatage. The bottom end was tighter and well defined. One warning, if you use this confi... 
McIntosh MA 6500 VS Musical Fidelity A308?
I use the A308 with a pair of Infinity Renaissance 90 speakers. Its performance is outstanding. You should consider a different set of speakers. The MF has more flexibility than the Mac. More power. Able to drive digfficult loads. Has mm and mc sw...
