First I haven't heard the Luxman but being a former Bryston B100 owner all I can say is 2 things. Seriously consider the warranty and voltage specs. The B100 is a fantastic integrated. Had I not discovered the world of tubes I would have upgraded within the line if not for the speakers I have now. I have the Dyn C1's at 85db is the only reason I had to upgrade my integrated.
Bryston B-100 or Luxman L-507u?
First post. ;-)
Plan to upgrade my integrated amp to a Bryston B-100 (basic model) or a Luxman L-507u.
Has anyone compared these two? My system, albeit modest, is a pair of B&W 805 matrix on the 805 Sound Anchor stands, the other end is an Oppo BDP-83SE. The amp that either of these would be replacing is a 15 yr-old Cyrus III with PSX-R.
I live in Japan (expat Canadian). The Luxman I can get for a fair amount cheaper here, than it goes for stateside. The Bryston, I'd buy from a someone back home and have it sent over to Japan.
I Iike the simplicity of design (inside and out) of the Bryston, but the fact that the Luxman seems to be a good deal here, is tempting.
Would appreciate any thoughts comparing these two amps.
Thanks
Peter
