Luxman m-900u owners - quick question

@garebear did you ever hear about Coda 15.5?. Class A up-to 100 Watts into 8 Ohms and then Class AB till 150 Watts into 8 Ohm, less than 50% retail compared to Luxman M-900u btw. If you want to compare options and want first watts to be pure Class A.

I can concur with nebob's findings but while driving my M-700u with a Chord Dave versus the C-900u.  The Dave was slightly more immediate sounding but ironically at the expensive of the utmost control of the stands of the music. Soundstage with the C-900u was also much more enveloping, with greater ease yet oddly more drive to the music. I also found that the C-900u conveyed all the detail of the Dave in a more emotionally engaging way, effortless.

Re: m900u with a different pre, has anyone figured out how to trigger on/off from a pre with standard 3.5mm trigger cable output (ex McIntosh)?  The m900u trigger input looks more like a phone jack.  Thought Blue Jeans Cable in Seattle might be able to build a custom 3.5mm to rj11 if I knew the wiring.

I am currently using the M-900 U , just turned it off. I had the preamp first  and just got the amp 2weeks ago  and still have questions. First if a AB amp has to run so hat why design it in such way that it delivers only 12 or 18 in class A. Is it just to adopt the hyper-modern look and restricted ventilation?The  Amp sounds very detailed and solid  with no harshness  Still under evaluation with his Luxman peers . I am a dedicated Luxman fan This amp  is playing substitute to a pair of M-5 run in Vertical bi-amp( 1 stereo amp on the left the second on the R)
cannot afford 2 M-900 U now. !!! This set up alternates with also two M-05 100 pure Class A run the same way or at time two Accuphase P-102 .  I just got rid of two old  M-22  used in the same set up on the speakers that I have for 17 years the Piega. C-35 . Still evaluating . I do not believe in reviewer like statement best amp  ever At this level  great amps may differ in some points may be this is all there is to it at this level of High-end. Believe me the tonalité and the thightness of the bass and mid bass with the 30 watts class A Pioneer M22 is not something to sneeze at even at this level

My question any idea why this 900-U run so hot as a AB amplifier most good amplifiers have their first watts in A nothing new here Why it gets so hot?
