Classe vs Luxman any thoughts on the Stereo power amps?


I would like to know would it be a wise decision to go with the Classe or Luxman for my 805D3.

Which Classe versions are we talking about? I would take the older CA-xxx (I had the ca-200 over 20 years ago) over the luxman of the same generation. I also owned many other Classe amps, preamps and cd players back then, the CAM and Onega series which I also think are better than luxman.
6 or 7 years ago, I owned the CT-M600 monoblocks which I would take over luxman.

The delta series, I would take the luxman. 
There is a reason B&W bought Classe, you need a warmer amp like the Classe or McIntosh to tone down the cool sounding B&W’s.

I won’t argue with you on that, but the Classe will control the bass drivers better than the Luxman, especially the omega, CAM, and CT series, plus the Classe is still on the warm side of sq, to me the best of both worlds.
