Speakers for Luxman LX-380


Pondering a LX-380 for my first foray into to tubes. What speakers really shine with this integrated?

 

thanks

Oops. I was going to recommend Sonus Faber… but that am- has very little power. You’ll need a specialty speaker that sounds good with very low power..

I have this fantastic amp and have the following speakers: Devore Super Nines, Harbeth 30.2XD, Dynaudio Heritage Specials and Magnapan LRS. The Maggie’s sound terrible with this amp but the other three sound great. I probably play the Super Nines and Heritage Specials the most in a rotation. My Luxman is currently in storage because I recently bought another amp and have too much  equipment. I’m considering selling it so if you are interested let me know. Mint condition.

First, that Luxman L380 is a gorgeous piece of equipment!  20W of tube power is enough to make excellent sound with a huge variety of reasonably efficient speakers.  Just avoid small ones that try to have deep bass…and adjust your volume expectations accordingly.  I have a Dynaco ST35 and it sounds great with IMF Super Compacts in a medium sized room (2000 cu.ft).
