Anyone experienced the Luxman MQ-300 or/and The Air Tight ATM-300R?


Considering one of those 2 to drive Devore Super 9 in a 14X16 living room..
Any thoughts?

For a speaker with as low sensitivity as the Devore Super 9, you might want to look at the Art Audio Elise.  It is 16w (double that of the Luxman or Air Tight) and uses a 520B which is a 300B derivative from Emission Labs and very similar to the old KR VV 52B.  

It is a wonderful sounding amp with lush mids and better bass than you could expect from a SET.  This unit replaced the Jota in the Art Audio lineup and is the amp in my profile photo.  

A 520B based unit will be much closer to the sound profile of a 300B than an 845 or 211 will be.  The other option would be to look at a 300B parallel SET like the Art Audio Argento but then you are running four 300Bs which can be brutally expensive to maintain longer term.  

I am sure there are other 520B based units or other 300B parallel SETs which may solve your issue.  I just don't know them off hand.  

Full disclosure, I am the importer for Art Audio. I am pointing these units out because they solve the marginal challenge you are facing in terms of power.  We have plenty of 3rd party review of our amps at a variety of sites.  

Good luck! 
My dealer just received the Luxman CL-1000 Preamp and had it hooked up to the MB-300 amp. Great pure analog sound. Wish I had 36K for the combo.
I have heard both.

I was on a similar quest earlier this year (see my post) asking a similar question. I was looking to run them on Devore O/96

I heard the Air Tight ATM-300R on a 87dB speaker (I don't know what the dealer was thinking while setting it up!!!) and the MQ-300 on a 90ish dB Triangle speaker.

Both on completely different systems so hard to compare. 

But I loved the MQ-300, it is by far the best amp I have heard. Although I agree that you should look for higher powered amps, both of these amps might drive your speakers. 

I wish I had heard the ATM-300R on a more efficient speaker to get a proper handle on its capabilities, but the fact that it drove an 87dB speaker was in itself a feat.

Definitely get the MQ-300, then someday upgrade to the Orangutans ;)

Thanks everyone. I’ll probably hear the LUXMAN in my system soon and I have the feeling It will work.

Let us know your listening impressions if you don’t mind. Would like to know  how you find its music reproduction compared to the Luxman KT 88 push pull amplifier you are currently using with this 91 db sensitive speaker..
