Luxman M-200? Anyone?

If you are thinking of going that way maybe a tube amp ?

Hello Cosmic
You really should listen for yourself, not many have tried it.

It’s a high bias, relatively simple amplifier with only one pair of output transistors (per the picture) and relatively high bias.

Since it is not listed it seems to lack the famous Luxman ODNF feedback loop of the larger amps.

So I expect it to be sweet, and do best with easy to drive loads. They describe it as ideal for desktop systems, which is a good guide.

However, given Luxman’s usual pricing, if you are looking for a desktop system you may want to consider an Ayre integrated instead, which will save you the cost of a pre.
