M900U vs the world


So from all my reading it seems this the amp to have at around $15k or less. Any other amp to consider over it at this price point?

Hello,
I have very recently auditioned Luxmam M900U and a few other amplifiers including Bricasti M25 in my 2 channel system and went ahead with the Bricasti unit. In my system I have a Bricasti DAC/source controller M12 which feeds this stereo amplifier to drive Aerial Acoustics Model- 7T speakers. I found Bricasti to relatively quieter having better dynamics and much better control in the bass domain. Luxman M900U is also a wonderful unit and I liked it a lot compared to other amplifiers like Gato mono blocks and Parasound JC1+. However in the end I found Bricasti to be a bit more powerful in controlling the Aerial drivers yielding a better performance although the difference, compared to the Luxman unit, was not huge.
Both Luxman and the Bricasti sell at the same price point and I would advise you to demo the unit in your room before buying it.
Luxman M900u combined with their Pre-amplifier C900U sounds way better than any other combination. I listened to this pair in a local dealer's place and it was really good. But I didn't try this combination in my system comparing it with the Bricasti pair.
Finally you can find out more on my recent experience on Bricasti/Luxman amplifier audition process in another Audiogon link, initiated by me.
Thanks.
I would be curious to find out how Pass Lab amplifiers compare with Bricasti amplifiers. Bricasti amplifiers unlike Pass Labs and many other popular brands don't show up frequently in audio forum discussions. Did anyone here have a chance to compare these two amplifiers?

Thanks.
