New MXA-8400 review in Stereophile
„Superb measured performance, with high power combined with vanishingly low levels of noise and distortion.“
Renown U.S. magazine Stereophile traditionally covers 2-channel audio, but as soon as the Lyngdorf MXA8400 came out reviewer Kalman Robinson was keen on listening to the most advanced Class D amplifier generation and explore it as a versatile stereo power amp for everything from bi-amping to quad-amping.
Both Kalman in the listening room and John Atkinson in the measuring lab were impressed:
„The Lyngdorf Audio MXA-8400 offers superb measured performance, with high power combined with vanishingly low levels of noise and distortion.“
“Played at very high levels, the MXA-8400 never blinked, even with the unbridged outputs.“
“The Lyngdorf MXA-8400 sounded wonderful, driving my speakers to realistic volume and allowing them to recreate realistic and pleasing performances from the intimate to the magnificent. Power output was never an issue. There is security and simplicity in the locking-XLR inputs and speakON outputs. I was looking forward to auditioning the MXA-8400, and now I am unhappy about returning it. If you are in the market for a multichannel power amp, the MXA-8400 should be near or at the top of your list.“
