SAE or Luxman

@roxy54  One reason is the SAE preamp is almost half the cost of the M-3. My 2400L has just been gone thru and sounds great. Is the M-3 going to sound 2x as great? 

@jasonbourne52  bling factor not important to me. I like the look of the SAE. 
One thing about the SAE pair is you have to run speaker wires between the pair. I suppose these had better be as good a  quality as your wires that run to your speakers. So that's an added cost.
  I did find a matching vintage Luxman cd player. Dont think SAE has one.
Thanks for your responses.

Thank you for your input. That's good to know.

One thing I learned the other day is that parts are no longer available to fix the digital display on the M-03. Such a shame.

A quick search shows one on reverb for $450. Nice looking unit. Think I'm going with Luxman as I just purchased a M-02 amp.
