I have a pair of 40.3XDs paired with an Accuphase E-800 and an Esoteric N-01XD streamer. Both are connect to an Accuphase PS-530 and all are grounded with a Shunyata Altamira. I am also running a pair of Rythmik E15HP2s. It is the most enjoyable, soothing and non fatiguing system I have ever heard. It plays for 6+ hours a day. It sounds great at 90+db but also sounds full and lush at 70db. Couldn’t be happier.
Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD
I'm considering trying a SS integrated to power my 40.3 XDs. I'll buy used.
I've heard great things about T+A but they are really pricey, and Luxman and Accuphase look interesting, there are 2 examples for sale currently.
Luxman L-509X $6,300 and Accuphase E650 $12K
I hear a lot about high damping factor being necessary to get the best out the the Harbeth's (Luxman is 370 and the Accuphase is 1000).
Honestly cannot justify $12K at the moment but I wondered if anyone has any thoughts on these 2 amps for my speakers? Or any other suggestions?
