i invested in this lexicon lx-5 because of a deal on e-bay. the amp is heavy, well built, and has the power to knock your socks off. i am running 3 pair of monitor gold speakers with it. great amp but i also run a rotel rmb 1077 class d amp with this same setup. the rotel sounds very similar but maintains a much more even tonal balance. the highs are not as harsh, and even though the rotel is no more powerful (actually less according to manufacturers ratings) the class d amplification just seems to supply that effortless power when it is really needed. i love the looks of the lexicon and it is a really sweet piece of audio equipment. |

At this level ($) it's hard for me to say. I'm a musician as well as a avid music listener. I'm honestly happy but i paid at a less then premium for this quality. I have not listened in detail other amps at this price point it's offered at retail. Bought the product (sound unheard/tested) from audiogon. Price was too good for me not to do all the research i could to make the educated buy. Unfornately the Lexicon pre-pro dominates the reviews - the amp is relatively obscured in review sites. I pulled the trigger and bought the 5 channel beast. I hooked up the fronts bridged @400 watts with the remaining center channel @200 watts. I'm using the Def tech 7002 with the Def Tech 2500 center. I'm replacing the Marantz MM9000 5 channel @150 watts per. My source is the Denon 3910. pre-pro Denon 3806 runs the back 4 channels.
