I have the Luxman MQ 88, which I believe is a variant of the MQ 88u. I used it to drive my former DeVore Silverbacks, and now use it as an alternate amp to drive my Verity Amadis. No problems at all with either pairing, and I tend to to listen at moderately-plus loud levels. I agree with Celtic66. Take the time and trouble to audition your speaker candidates with your Luxman.
