BHK 300 vs Luxman m900u vs Mola Mola Kaluga

Looking for insight on sound comparisons between these three amps.  Had and liked the BHK’s, but returned them due to ongoing QA issues.  I’m concerned about the bass capability of the Luxman, and about class D sound from the Kaluga.  Have heard neither, and can’t get a demo.  Linn Akurate DSM/3 fed by nas for front end; Monitor Audio PL300ii speakers.

Get a real amp look at PASS 250.8 or 350.8 for much better sound.Underwood Hi Fi has some great amps for the money as well.Good luck.

I have two of the m900u. The difference between running one amp in stereo vs two in mono is striking in what it does to the sound stage. I don't play it that loud, so don't need the power, but felt the soundstage/air was worth getting two.

I compared a single to a Gamut 200 (nice amp that I had had for 6 years).

I have VERY good bass on my system (Focal Scala) and they are not strident or sibilant (clean but sweet highs).

YMMV in your system.
