Luxman 509 or McIntosh 8900
Hello all!
Been doing a great amount of research on getting a new "buy once, cry once" integrated amp.. Ive narrowed this down to the Luxman 509x and McIntosh 8900.. Ill be running this into a pair of Polk 707's which I am very happy with and prob won't be upgrading for 5-10 years.
This would be streaming mostly and USB HiRes.. The McIntosh has the old DA1 module and I would get a separate streaming DAC for the Luxman. Moderate listening levels. The Polk's are 87db efficient and 250-300 watts recommended I believe.
Any feed back, suggestions would be great!!
Oh, and I have heard the McIntosh with Cornwalls and LOVED it.. I can not find a dealer to hear the Luxman.. So the Luxman would be a purchase off of suggestion only.
