The M200 model was created specifically for use in a stereo system that includes an external DAC, and uses a computer or media player as the source. The amplifier has a push-pull circuit using discrete elements. The following inputs are present on the back of the case: balanced XLR, standard RCA. The M-200 power amplifier is a good option for systems with shelf speakers located in small rooms.
The Luxman M-700u dual-channel power amplifier is made in the classic design of the company, with a laconic front panel, the main decoration of which is the arrow indicators of the signal strength.
The flagship has a massive 48-kilogram body with a front aluminum panel, which has two arrow level indicators with original white LED backlight. On the facade there is a power/standby key with an indication of operating modes, an input selection button with two LEDs, a backlight off button and an LED diode indicating the activation of BTL bridge mode.
The amplifier weighs 48.4 kg and is capable of delivering 2 × 150 watts with a speaker resistance of 8 ohms and 2 × 1,200 watts with a resistance of 1 ohm. It is reported about the "stadium" single-channel 2.4 kW at 2 ohms in BTL mode. The high damping coefficient helps to cope with even the most difficult speakers.
This tube preamp from the textbook is attractive not only for its vintage look, but also thanks to Luxman's traditional technologies of the highest quality, including transformers for MC cartridges. Top-notch sound: open, fast and strikingly authentic, especially in the midrange.
