I recently heard a Line Magnetic Integrated Amp rated at 25 wpc. This was an older two stage looking model. (Unsure of model) It was a shop I visit weekly to see whats new. This LM produced by far the best sound of any amp he has operating to date. He sold it that week so were are back to his Quicksilvers. Based on that one session I would say they are great!! 

Mind me asking, why did you sell it?

As much as I liked it, it wasn't a perfect match for my khorns. I ended up with a Decware Torii II which has a richer tone and not quite as forward.

That said, the LM has balls for days and will easily wake up a laid back pair of speakers.

Hi
I have the LM-508 and I bought it (much cheaper than in USA) from a authorized dealer directly from China because there's no Line Magnetic dealer here in Argentina.
The amp is amazing and the dealer is very profesional.
Also Audio-gd is a chinese brand with a extraordinary quality price ratio and warranty. I have the Audio-gd R2R-2 DAC and the Master 1 pre and the are really a bargain for the quality of sound you get.
My system costs about 15K and only my speakers (Q Acoustics Concept 500) and cables (Kimber and DH Labs) are not from China. Recently I heard a denish Bang & Olufsen almost 100K system and mine sounded much better. 
Dont fool yourself, these two chinese brands are great and not always more expensive is better.

FWIW, the best amp I ever had was Chinese (not LM).
