The Luxman M-700u is a stereo power amplifier that represents excellent value in high-end audio, combining refined sound quality with exceptional build craftsmanship. It features Luxman's proprietary ODNF 4.0 feedback circuit inherited from the flagship M-900u model, which significantly improves distortion characteristics and signal-to-noise performance. The amplifier employs a 4-parallel push-pull output stage with 3-stage Darlington transistors, operating in Class A up to 6W to ensure high-density sound expression while maintaining high power capability. The M-700u is known for its trouble-free longevity, precise engineering, and meticulous attention to detail in construction. It delivers convincing tonality with fine scale, authority, and imaging, though it benefits from warm-up time to reach optimal performance. The amplifier can be bridged for mono operation, doubling its power output. It pairs exceptionally well with quality preamps and is capable of driving a wide range of speaker loads with control and poise.
