Just tried pairing my Luxman MQ-88uC with my Forte III's. There's no magic to be had here. I tried the 4,8, and 16 ohm posts....sounded best on 8 ohms as expected, but after 45 minutes of trying I couldn't wait to get the Leben back in. The Leben CS-300xs has oodles more synergy with the Forte III's. I will keep my Luxman amp paired with the O/96's, where it obviously thrives.
