Thanks for chiming in, im only looking at the Maestro Utopia III and not the Evo's....sadly, beggars cant be choosers
I have read about the power hungry Maestros wanting more juice at lower ohms, but im confident that the Luxman will suffice, as I rarely listen at earbleeding high SPL.
One of the very nice features of the C900 preamp is a very delicate tone adjustment I can use just a bit if needed.
If they are not enough, I will reconsider - but I really like the Luxman combo.
Havent thought about gear since I got them.
Bar81, im happy to hear from a Maestro owner also.
How have you placed them, and how is your room in size?
How is your experience with the Sopra line compared to the Utopia?
Thanks!
