@james633  No, unfortunately the Michi X5 does not contain any sort of crossover controls but does allow for some simple tone controls (treble, bass and that's it).  Not sure if those controls apply to the high level outs only?   So, as a more g...

Thank you for so much good information, this forum never disappoints and is always so knowledgeable! So, after further thought (and contrary to my follow up post above) I decided to stick with the REL and buy up to the S line.  I picked up two S/...

@soix @bhvf Got it. Thanks.

Ok, the resounding consensus seems to be that SVS is on par if not more deeper and cleaner bass for the money.  I am going to go with Dual SVS SB3000s.  It's within my budget and still cheaper than 1 REL S/510.  Perhaps the REL 10" driver is quick... 
Tube Preamp --> Solid State Amp
Thanks all--I agree on duplicating the preamp feature of the X5 and will stick with the X5.    
Tube Preamp --> Solid State Amp
Oh no, maybe it doesn't from what I can tell...  Here is a snippet of the back of the unit and also link to the manual.  Is that your conclusion?  Sorry, I'm not a pro here

Lots of good options and opinions, thanks so much.  I'm narrowing between the Focal Utopia and the HIFIMAN Susvara.   Looks like I'll save $1,000 on the Focals, but based on the above comments and the research I've done they excel in staging and m...

Thank you for that.   I did purchase the Lehmann Audio Black Box SE II so I’m hoping that’s sufficient if I bypass the phono on the Lux

@builder3 what speakers do you run with the Luxman?  
Advice on Integrated Receiver
Tell me the Luxman L-509X is overkill and that I wouldn’t notice a difference. It’s a beauty, but surely there are diminishing returns. I found a H390 at $4,300 and a L-509X at $6,950. Both on USAudioMart.   Keep in mind my endgame is ditching th... 
Advice on Integrated Receiver
@audphile1 @mtbiker29  ok, after much research I think I’m going to go with the Hegel H390.  I realize the power is much more than the MAs need it will serve well when I upgrade to the 803D2 or D3s.  Hopefully that conclusion is correct.     I w...
