replace Mcintosh with Luxman

I second having a listen in the lower states or even in Canada at Audio Excellence. Great guys to deal with and will give you an honest opinion vs BS to make a sale. Have you thought about several of these amplifiers? I love the sound quality better than Luxman.

- McIntosh MC2301 Tube Monoblock amplifiers 
- Mark Levinson No536 Monoblock 
- the Coda was also mentioned 
- Dan D’Agostino Progression 
- Audio Research Reference 250SE or M160 Monoblock 
- Accuphase Monoblock
- Esoteric Monoblock 

Some of these are tube amplifiers but all can more than definitely handle the power you are looking for. All can handle 4ohm loads and the speaker you have really doesn’t need anything lower than that. The trade off for incredible sound is worth it with these choices especially before you drop 40K on amplifiers. All have a great resale value as well but I don’t think you will sell once you own any of these beauties.

just a thought and best of luck

My mc462 puts a smile on my face every time I listen. That is what we all look for.

Hello,
 The Luxman M900U is on a little bit of a backorder. Popularity and the Pandemic has slowed down production. 

So here is a question for all of you Mac haters.

Why do McIntosh components hold or increase in value over time?

Same reason Harley Davidson Motorcycles depreciate the least but are hardly the best.
