Yes. Do get the "Deluxe" version. That is the unit I purchased. The few extra $$ gets you much improved OPamps and RCA jacks. It is a very good product. I performed several "mods" to mine as I built it. Also, as above; take great care in setting the front panel knob positions. I used CLIO's generator function to drive the input to 1.0V then made sure the output was unity gain (1.0V) with the knobs centered. I also used CLIO to check the crossover frequency and "action" as the unit was adjusted. I ran a S/N test to check for PS harmonics in the noise floor as I run dual mono power suppies in my unit (there were none above CLIO's own noise floor of about -106Db). Bi-amping with the XM9 was a vast improvment over passive bi-amping @150Hz in my system!
