I also demoed the Luxman M10x amp and remembered how much I loved the older Luxman m900u. I think the M10x is more detailed and better for my needs than the m900u.
Hmm, good to hear that the M10x is more detailed than the m900u (currently have the latter, wonder what they changed...), i.e., something for the shortlist/within reach. The benchmark is not for me. I bought it, lived with it for a couple of weeks and sent it back. It had a unpleasant that I couldn’t get over.
On a different note, the 70k Aavik class A had an insane amount of detail...but, the 70k is problematic at the moment with 2 kids in college and spouse monitoring the bank accounts like a hawk. AudioGroupDenmark dealers are so greedy!
I guess upto 30k is doable.
