Anyone experienced the Luxman MQ-300 or/and The Air Tight ATM-300R?

Please do let me know if you ever get a chance to audition the Engstrom Arne. Would love to hear your opinion of it vs the MQ-300.

I found it better than MQ-300 in some respects but the MQ-300 to be a better all round performer.

But the catch was that the Arne I auditioned was not broken in. It was brand new from the box, perhaps that's why it wasn't as relaxed as the Luxman. But I don't know.

No matter how good the Engsrom Arne sounds "brand new from the box".  IMO there’s no question that it will improve as hours of use begin to accumulate . It will most certainly relax and open up . This has been my experience with new amplifiers and especially those utilizing output transformers.

I suspect that both of these amplifiers are outstanding across the spectrum. The Engstrom representing uber level 300b sound quality in push pull configuration and the Luxman doing the same in SET configuration. I don’t see how one could not be absolutely thrilled with either driving an appropriately chosen speaker.

I haven’t have the time to even contact the store and I am truly happy with the configuration I have now. To be able to test the 2 would need to hear them with the exact same configuration which is complicated. At the end I’ll have maybe to sell all amp/pre as I am thinking of moving back to Europe..

@h_bomb 
No need to test. Just listen at the store, if you are free sometime, would love to know what you think.

Are you located in NY?
