@sonicbeauty thank for your input ! Right now I’m between pass int 150 and as3000 both of them are rare find on the used market but I don’t think I can go wrong on either one of them

As my primary listening/home theater space is currently undergoing remodel, everything is upstairs in one room: https://i.imgur.com/vnPQlH4.jpg A-S1100, Luxman L507uX, Audio Research LS28/VT80/Schiit Freya combo. Yes, the Luxman L507uX is more resolving than Yammie by a small factor, I notice it especially on string instruments but you really, really have to listen for it. If blinded, I could not tell either side by side. Bass seems equally tight with both, as the the treble extension. Somehow the Yammie does sound more tube like than the Luxman. Not in the Audio Research way, more like Primaluna way. As to holographic sound staging, both are good until I flip on the LS28/VT80 combo and then it's another story. |
If I had to downgrade and pick, I could happily live with any one of them. Normally, the Luxman stays upstairs and powers Aerial 6Ts in the living room and 5Ts in my home office. The Yammie stays downstairs in the theater room and powers Aerial 7Ts connected to Yamaha CX-A5100 for movie watching/background music while exercising. When I really want to sit down and listen to music, the tube combo comes on via a Luxman speaker selector. |
