| Has anyone else auditioned something that really was terrible? Because it doesn’t work in your system doesn’t mean it’s a terrible product. Maybe something it’s matched with in your system is a terrible match and its performance is severely compromised, but I wouldn’t go around claiming it to be a terrible pr... | |
| Can speakers sound worse during break-in period? There not Vintage one generation back. They’re a pr the company never sold and offered them to a dealer at a special discount. | |

| What country builds the best audio equipment? Much of what caused to post this thread is the amount equipment I’ve seen from other countries besides the U.S. The sheer amount is astonishing and build quality is always beyond belief; visually at least. I must admit, I’ve not heard most of this... | |
| odyssey kismet monpblock gochurchgoOverall I can’t tell you what best at its price point, but I can tell you I never felt a “WOW” factor when I owned them. As for other amps similarly priced ( or little higher) like the pass 150.8 I felt the presence or pure Sonics and a... | |
| odyssey kismet monpblock Owned them for for 3 years. Overall for the money a good amp. Pros: run very cool and only draw about 35 watts at idle, very smooth sounding amp, good detail and transparent window, able to drive low impedance speakers.Cons: lack weight, cooler cl... | |
| Goldmund, not much inside, but ultra expensive. Yes research & developmental are cost factors, but their prices are ultra expensive, not mere expensive. This research & development cost must translate into cutting edge sound given the price that one must pay to play: does it? | |
| What is the best 5k-plus Preamp with balanced outs and Phono stage? The most expensive one! LOL | |
| Luxman m-900u owners - quick question I’ve owned the M900U for six months now. I’ve purchased over 30 amps in my lifetime and it’s clearly the best I’ve ever owned. I leave the unit on all the time and mine never gets hot, just warm. Adequate ventilation is a must. | |
| Power Amplifier Longevity Also depends on how well the unit was tacked care of. People tend to confine their equipment to small closed in spaces with very little ventilation. Heat will greatly reduce a component life span. | |

| Upgrading from Sopra 3 to Maestro utopia iii what to expect? Stella’s are too big. Sopra’s are a great speaker. Replaced a pr of Revel salon 2 for them and they were definitely a upgrade. Always wanted to get a pr of utopia’s and the opportunity has arrived. | |
| help me to choose an amp for Focal Maestro Luxman m900u is the amp to have to drive those low impedances. Incredible value for the money. Competes with ultra expensive hi-end amplifiers at a fraction of their cost. | |
| Luxman M900u stereo vs Mono setup True the need to run the M900u in mono would be unnecessary if it solely based on a speaker that was easy to drive. I’ve heard the M900u in mono is vastly superior to one in stereo, sonically speaking. | |
| Soulution 511 vs. Luxman m900 Yes the Luxman is pin 2- in its normal position, but it also has a setting for 2+. |
