Luxman M900U any experience ?

@sandit33 Thanks for that post you made above. I heard the Luxman m900u today with the Luxman c900u and I just loved it. I am going to get the Luxman m900u amp but was wondering what preamp would work with it, other than the c900u. I want to get a preamp with a DAC and DSP so your recommendation of the Linn is a good start. I am considering the Linn Selekt DSM,

and the Anthem STR preamp.

Received yesterday, great w/MG 3.7i's & Sumiko S.9 subs.
 Using w/ARC 5SE.

I was talking to some dealers of both luxman and other brands like pass. And I was amazed to hear people with high end pass labs trading for m900u! Some guy traded his XS300 for dual m900U and another dual X260.8s for a single m900U! Is the m900U that god like? I get system matching is a factor but still this is insanely impressive.

Just work through whitecamaross's long thread and look at all his comments on the m900U.

That would be me all day long. Pass has a particular sound. Luxman does too. If you love Pass you’ll never trade, and vice versa.

The only thing I’m surprised by is that people are surprised some don’t like the sound of Pass. I always suggest Luxman, Pass and Ayre as being worth listening to as great counterpoints to each other. Not because I want some one to buy x brand, but because if you are an audiophile you’ll pick one of those 3 and no amount of typing will convince you otherwise. Some pick Pass, some don’t, and as I've come to realize, the type of speaker you own makes a big deal to this choice.

It’s all good.

Best,

E
