i went to cubao last tuesday, to just simple kill time around a/v surplus shops in the isetan area and i went home with a LUXMAN L-430.
roaming around the a/v surplus shops of pier and cubao have become a new found hobby ever since i started reading this topic, and i even got a list of the most sought afters (hehehe, bagong competition ako sir akyat ang all others).
i bought the L430 primarily on account of sir akyats recommendation,"u cant go wrong with a luxman", and on the fact that on its back an indication is made that it can handle 4 ohms to 8 ohms, on speaker A or B and 4 to 18 ohms for both speaker A and B.
initial impression (after 3days or 9 hours of listening time) of the amp: improve bass, better seperations of instruments, and a WOW! for voice, it is as if the singer is with me, live!
it is driving a pair of hard to drive celestion 3000 speakers, with a 100 watts @ 4ohms power requirement. previous to this, i drive them speakers with a yamaha avr, and the sonic difference is very much obvious, specially on the instrumentations. laki ng ginanda ng goya ko from a very untamed acoustic guitar leads to a tamed yet realistic sounding performance.
what can my fellow surplus fanaticas comment on this amp?
thanx in advance.
