Luxman 505uXlI vs Cary SLI-100


Hey just for fun and not diving too deep into room acoustics, type of music etc. what amp-speaker combination would you choose?
I have the two amps listed above and these speakers:
Martin Logan ESL
Klipsch Heresy IV
Magnapan LRS

I'm "considering" downsizing.

just for fun

i would take the cary and a pair proacs or harbeths

you can have the other speakers
Given the modest integrateds I'd say the Klipsch is a very strong speaker, another possible integrated is a Rogue.

My concern with the ML with both of these amps is an over softening of the top end due to the speaker impedances ( I assume you mean ESL ML)


I'd pair the Klipsch Heresy IV's with a Cary SLI-80HS instead of the SLI-100.  I don't think KT150's will match very well but KT-88's in triode mode through the SLI-80HS is sublime with Klipsch.  I run this amp with a pair of Forte III's and the synergy is fantastic.
