M900U vs the world

White camaross at one point was saying he would be willing to sell everything he has including XS300 and just enjoy M900U.

This is a really hard to beat amplifier at $15K.

I could spend more on a D’Agostino, and it would be prettier, but at least on the Wilsons I heard... I’d be hard pressed to hear a major step up.

 I can think of "different" amps, like Ayre, which are not better, but also great sounding.

smodtactical:
regarding the whitecamaross quote, sure he probably said it but it was an exageration and he didn’t mean it, as he clarified to you on his thread right before you posted this here. he exagerates from time to time but if you read the thread you will know. in fact he recently rated the xs300 as the all time best amp he has ever owned. m900u did not make his top 5. and sim audio__ v2 (I forget the model) for $17k msrp he had rated higher than the m900u.

of course everyone has subjective opinions and nobody really dumps on the m900u and most think excellent. just clarifying the misleading statement regarding m900u vs xs300. sure he might have said it but again, he made clear to you that it was an exageration

Also, WC did call the m900u one of the three best amps he’s ever reviewed for the money (bang for buck), so WC certainly agrees that it is hard to beat at $15k msrp

Ya I think his initial statement was just exaggeration after initially hearing the amp and being so impressed with it. But then later on he eventually sold it lol.

I find he kinda did that too with the other amps hes looked at. Like with the X250.8 he initially went insane about how its such an incredible amp. Then when I just asked him about m900u vs X350.8 his response would make you think the 350.8 is s---. LOL.

You have to read the whole thread to understand but yeah, he always ends up selling regardless of how much he likes. He just likes to cycle through gear and test it. That is his deal.


Different than most, for sure. Yes, sometimes when he initially hears something he will make statements that don’t necessarily jive with rest of thread, but I guess we all exaggerate from time to time.

But he has also put out rankings where he considers everything and comes to a conclusion.
His top 5 amps of all time that he’s owned and he also put out a top 3 under $20k recently (youtube video). If I remember correctly it was the Sim Audio 860 v2, the m900u, and Audio Research reference 160S for the best he’s owned under 20k.
