I listened to the 507 with the Spendor 7.2 at a local hifi shop last year - very nice sound. The 509 and 590 were not readily available. Then borrowed the 507 to take home and tried with my Merlin VSMs in same size room as yours, Excellent. As good as hifi shops are at setup, I have yet to find one that sounds as good as my own room, which - based on measurements- is not without its many faults. I ended up keeping my integrated amp but would have also been very happy with the Luxman.
Recommendations for speakers with Luxman 509x
Hey everyone - looking for some suggestions on speakers. Just upgraded my amp and DAC to a Luxman 509x and Lumin T2. They’re driving Martin Logan motion 40s so upgrading speakers as well. Room is 14x18’ with the speakers facing the long way. It’s a living room, so am constrained by space and the wife. They will be less than 2’ from the wall and snuggled up next to a wood TV stand in the middle. Towers will be much easier to pull off than something very wide. Wood floors but covered by a large rug, L couch, lots of windows, 8’ drywall ceiling and a large bookshelf in the back to give you an idea of acoustics. Listening position about 8-10ft from speakers. Budget is $5k-$10k. Willing to go used. I mostly listen to rock, folk, country, hip hop and jazz. Fairly new to the language of hifi, but prefer natural over clinical and a touch of warmth would be nice with the supposedly neutral components in the system. Thanks!
