I meant that it was boring that you took the "safe" way out .
I'm confident that the ahb2 would be good enough sound-wise. The super-low distortion and noise surely makes it interesting, the somewhat "low" damping factor makes me a little skeptical, but it's probably negligible in the real world with all the cables and crossover components.
The thing is that I want a really big, hefty amplifier that's very solidly constructed. I really want that "high-end" feeling, that's the biggest reason why I want to swap my current Rotel RB1582 for something else. And even if it's stupid, but investing a lot of money into something makes if feel special.
Why did you go for Luxman instead of any of the competitors?
