Visit to Excel Audio

Hi Everyone,

I wrote elsewhere that I picked up a new Luxman from Excel audio in Newport Beach, California this afternoon. I wanted to say I had an excellent experience there, and list a few things I heard that I liked as well:

Dagostino amps with some large but not the largest Wilsons.


Klipsch Forte + Rogue Audio integrated ( I liked this a great deal, surprised me in how smooth those horns were)


He also carries Mytek, which I am a fan of but did not audition.

As of this writing, Excel has a number of Luxman 505 (v. 1) he’s selling for like $2,500 if you are interested. I did not know this, but Mike mentioned he’s probably the largest Luxman dealer, also has a lot of KEF and Harbeth’s on display. This explains how he got so many 507ux’s in for sale.

I can tell you that D'Agostino works very very well with Wilson. Too bad you didn't get to hear it. 


I did hear it! It was excellent, but not what I was there for.
