@mtbiker29 I have PMC twenty5.22, PMC Twenty5.26i and ATC SCM50's (coming soon) that I use the Luxman for but now as a Pre only as i doesn't have the weight I'd like to power the speakers. I love the sound and also appreciate having a phono preamp. I'm using a Musical Fidelity A308CR as my power amp.
The meters work when the separate button is not activated, the pre outs at the back always work regardless of using the separate button.
I did look at the C/M900 setup but at the time cannot justify the spend over the setup I have working well for now. I may need to rethink this when my ATC's arrive as they may need some more power.
