Summary:
This amplifier is really great. I bought it brand new and let it burn in for about 200 hours before I had a good listen. I just let it play for 8 days and nights. Wow this really makes a huge difference. In the first few days there was hardly any warmth and bass, but after 8 days it had a bass like I have never heard before. Don't get me wrong, this is not a boom kind of bass, but it is as tight as you can image. I am usually not very fond of a big bass sound, because this usually results in a boomy sound, but I really fell in love with this bass, what a super control. I also love this amp for the big sound stage and the superb detail with which it plays.
The power of this amp is rated on 100w per channel, but it sounds like a amp with twice or more power. It can handle probably most speaker with super ease.
This is really worth an audition.

Before this I have also listened for a few weeks to accuphases 405 and 408. These amplifiers have a little more open soundstage, but there bass control can not compete with the luxman.
