As you know I tried this combo with outstanding effect.
It was a big gap in time between the C-900u and my current Corus/PSU 625 S2 combo so it would be hard to comment on the differences.
Both excellent.

I agree with your post and you know I respect your opinion. I would like to hear the C900u with my 625 S2 in my system. Usually, but not always there isn't a night and day difference between components that are considered on the same level. Will the C900u be a real game changer in my system or a lateral move? My next move for now is going from dual REL Carbon Limited subs to a REL no. 25.

I've also heard the 625 S2 extensively which is a significant evolutionary advance over the earlier version. Both amps are exceptional products and I think a preference is likely to come down to which is a better match to a given set of speakers as well as system synergy. I used to run Magnepan 3.7i and with them I'd give the nod to the Rowland which had greater dynamic swings and an overall effortlessness that the Luxman lacked. However I then changed to Dynaudio Contour 60 speakers and my preference shifted to the Luxman with amazing texture, harmonic integrity and overall musicality. Once you get to this level of gear I find that system matching and personal preference play a major role in determining which would be considered best.
Hello
I have a Corus and model 625 (first version), do you think I can drive magnepan 3.7i or 20.7i with ?
Thanks

Hello... The answer to your question is an enthusiastic YES regarding the Magnepan 3.7i since I had that exact combo and it is exceptional! Effortless dynamics, smooth, musical, and spacious! Regarding the 20.7 I can't definitively say since I've never had them or heard them driven by the 625, but my guess would be that they'd be similarly well matched. Hope that helps.

I have listening the magnepan 1.7i.
They don't have the 3.7i.
I pass an order.
I must wait two months...

Congrats on your newly ordered Magnepans! The true ribbon tweeter of the 3.7i and 20.7i is vastly superior to the quasi-ribbon used in the 1.7i, they exhibit an effortless and airy high frequency response that is exceptional. Enjoy them in the best of health!
