I’ve run the Sugden A21SE for years and with original Rogers LS 3/5As. I love that amp, but it is quite cable sensitive to get the bass right. I finally settled on Decware Silver cables. I’m not saying that is the only cable that works, just my experience.
Luxman LX-380 for LS3/5a's? Alternative?
Hopefully there is somebody in the group who can give an answer to which Luxman amplifier is 'the best' match for my Rogers LS3/5a's? These are the current production Classic ones, 15 Ω.
The LX-380 has 4 6L6 output tubes in push-pull, and this could be a great match. The Rogers E20a(II), designed with the LS3/5a in mind, has the same tube configuration.
Now, having said that, I am not into tubes as if it is a religion. At the moment I use a Sugden A21se Signature, that drives the speakers very well.
The thing is, that the current Luxman lineup has too many awesome amplifiers. So I am also looking at the L-590AX-II and the CL-38uC/MQ88uC. These are all too awesome..
But I keep coming back to the 'simple' LX-380..
I am very interested in your real life opinions.
Thanks!
