Thanks for everyone's comments. Reporting back after living with the Spendor D9.2, Luxman 509x and Lumin T2 combo. I'm very happy. The Spendors showed up last so I have a little perspective on the components. I don't have a ton of hifi experience, but think I have a decent ear and here's my take.
The Luxman is smooth, powerful, detailed and a touch sweet. It's rarely past 11am on the volume dial. It's also gorgeous and an incredibly built piece of gear. I mostly listen at low to mid volumes and the Loudness button is on almost all the time. When the volume goes up it comes off, but it's a great feature for day to day casual listening.
the T2 creates a ton of space between the instruments. Very detailed. Compared to a fluance rt85 record player with ortofon blue needle, I compare a new pressing of the Fugees The Score with streaming Tidal. The T2 sounded better. More open, dynamic and detailed at the expense of being a bit dry. The vinyl was warmer but more of a wall of sound.
the Spendor 9.2s are awesome. They're beautiful in eucalyptus. They sound very natural and true to the source. Some recordings are a touch warm, others a bit dry. The only fault is at high volume (rare in my house) there is some harshness in the upper mids/treble, but I think that's mostly my room. Lots of hard surfaces and windows, no treatments. Ive learned a lot through this process. On placement, they sound great just dropped wherever. Pulling them away from the wall and dialing in the listening position and speaker placement result on that magic of the speakers disappearing with an ultra wide and deep soundstage. The bass leaves nothing to be desired. Cranking hip hop ive got not desire to hookup my SVS sub. They're pretty forgiving on recordings too. Good recordings reveal incredible detail and space. Average recordings just don't have the same magic and detail, but still sound good. Good jazz recordings blow my mind every night.
Next step is working on the room acoustics - a tricky business for the WAF
hope that's helpful for whatever it's worth!
