I just saw 2 weeks ago two Luxman 900u sell for barely over $11,000.00 each. That’s almost a 50% drop off for amplifiers especially being 19-20k new. Those amplifiers were less than a year old. I do like some of the Luxman amplifiers but I’m not interested in taking a beating from a manufacturer. At that point might as well buy used with warranty left. As far as Japanese high end equipment go, Accuphase is a great choice.
When they get their warranty in line with their prices, maybe.  
My last 3 Mac amps failed during warranty but real close to that date.
NEVER again
My Mac gear is 15 years old and the one failure is the power light on the C2300.

Built to Last.
I wonder how many people have really done direct A/B testing. Link to one below of McIntosh and D’Agostino, interesting outcome.

Thank you for linking that review video. Very interesting comments on the difference between those amps. I like the Audio Excellence guys and their product reviews. 
Cheers.
