I am considering an upgrade to the 900 combo and will be auditioning this gear over the next few weeks.

For sure, it’s all about synergy. I really liked both amps, and probably would have gone with the 590 if Martin Logan panels weren’t already leaning towards the warm side.
When auditioning the 590, I heard the m900 amp and absolutely loved it. It was already out of budget, so purposely didn’t want to add in the c900 which would have ruined me until buying! I didn’t want to fully erode my excitement of getting the 509X.
Would be awesome to get your thoughts on the 900 pairing.
