Luxman m-900u owners - quick question


Looking for some feedback on owners of this amplifier. I am not looking for the '' dealer lingo '' that I have been getting ; '' sweet amp, the best that is out there, will give you a great deal , I sold a bunch of them in the last month ''....blah, blah, blah.....

So what made you buy this amp is what I would like to know from owners who have them. What made you take this one instead of others in this price range  ….and do you have to match it with the Luxman C-900 u pre-amp for the best results ?      

Thank you

I'm still working through various amps - currently have a pair of Ampzillas and a Rowland 625s2.

Probably will also try a Pass X350.8 to complete the "musical SS" trio.


The M900U is a very good amp. I owned it for 2 years with mixed feelings.
First, I didn’t care for it that much with the C900U. I felt it gave me too much of what the M900U already had to offer. To me the M900U wasn’t the most neutral amp I’ve ever heard. It had a character that was some what polished and not very analog sounding. There were times I felt like it was the best amp I ever owned (see my previous comments) and other times wished I never bought it. I’m sure in the right system it can be as good as people have described, but for myself it was at best, a very good amp.


Has anyone compared the Luxman top-of-the-range C-900U/M-900U to the L-590AXII or L-509X integrated?  Is there a noticeable step up in sound quality going from the separates to the integrated?
