Awesome speakers. I’d add Coda, Krell to the list. The Coda # 16 is within your budget, it ain’t cheap but you would have to spend at least 2x to get the same build quality. Think it would land right in your sweet spot for the sound signature you are looking for. The Krell XD gear would also be great but a tad bit warmer. Boulder makes incredible gear as well. Accuphase would be another great option to consider next to Luxman. PS Audio BHK Mono’s also offer a lot of what it sounds like you are looking for.
Have JBL K2s...best Amp pairing please?
Fellow AGONers,
I have purchased a pair of JBL K-2s, as my "End Game", speakers. Need best advice on Amplification Pairing with the powerful horn Mids and Tweeters. Previously impressed with older McIntosh sound, now playing an AVM SA8- beautiful detail, imaging and soundstage over the Mac, but some music has very pronounced mids and highs. I'm curious about the new Audio Research SS gear about to come out, but if you've heard a Luxman M10X or the MAC 611s or other SS amps, would love to hear your assessments please. Want this to be my end game amplification as well, I'm not getting any richer or younger.
thanks all...steve
