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.
The MQ 300 is an updated version of the MB-300 single-stroke tube amplifier, which first appeared back in 1984. Unlike its predecessor, the Luxman MQ-300 is a stereo power amplifier, not a monoblock. It outputs only 8 watts per channel and is implemented on Takatsuki TA-300B lamps, the Japanese counterparts of the legendary 300B direct–channel triodes from the American company Western Electric.
