Going linear - The Luxman 507ux

No one panic, but I just picked up the last Luxman 507ux in the US. About 110w/ch with power meters. 😀

Ill compare them directly with my Class Ds at home.

Several people I know have switched from the 509 to the 590 which has more of the CLASS A traits....Warmer/sweeter, better highs etc. The 509 Mirrors the M900 Amps where the 590 is closer to the M800A profile which is more musical.

My current inventory is: Dag 400 Monos, ARC 160M Monos, ARC REF 10, Audio Note Jinro, Ayre KX-R Twenty, Pass Labs XA-25, Luxman C900/M900...and some older Multi Channel amp/pre combos (Arc/Conrad Johnson)

Those 30 Watts are misleading as you will find out if you do your homework. Jetter...Never used the Pass. Came in a Bulk Deal. Person I got it from (original owner) used it with the Lux 900U and he enjoyed it very much for about 4 months and then I got it. I cant see myself ever using it so it will probably just be trade material down the road.

Obviously AC/DC and Dan Fogelberg aren't going to sound equally compelling if your limited to one lineup of amps/speakers. You put the "Soft" stuff on a SET type lineup w/High DB speakers and the Harder stuff on Amps with Testosterone and speakers to match. With 1 system you will never realize the full potential of a large % of your catalog (unless you only listen to 1 type of music...and there's nothing wrong with that).

What model speakers are you using that are harder to drive than those??
