Luxman L590AXii vs Accuphase E-650 for a Shindo lover
greginnh, I wish you hadn't even mentioned your thoughts on the 590MkII.  (just kidding, I've been curious about how it compares)Your old 590 is playing as I type. Love that thing.L. 
Paradigm 20’s v3
I own the Studio 10 v5's, which I replaced last year with Signature S6's. I'll keep the little ones, I'd just regret it if I sold them. I don't have any experience with earlier versions. 
Paradigm 20’s v3
starman1, these are completed auctions on eBay for studio 20’s. All versions, sold, and unsold. If they're truly mint, and you have the boxes, etc., I'd ask at least $500, and sell the stands separately. They should bring another $250Good luck,L.h... 
@inna Tell me your speakers and I'll tell you who you are
So you assume we're all frustrated with our speakers? 
What is your favorite budget audio component?

Accuphase E-470 or Luxman 590ax II ?
greginnh, have you had a turntable in your system? I think that's going to be my next big expenditure. So far, my mind is fully 'boggled'.When I was looking for info on your cables, I came across your thread here from earlier in the year. I assume...

greg, what were you running for speakers with that 590? Just curious,Thanks,L. 
Accuphase E-470 or Luxman 590ax II ?
gryphongryph, driving your speakers is something I can't really answer, maybe someone else here is better at the math. Looks like your LS5/9's have a sensitivity of 87dB.  My Paradigm S6's are 91dB. I don't have to turn up the volume far at all fo... 
Accuphase E-470 or Luxman 590ax II ?
gryphon, I was concerned about the heat before I bought my 590, it ended up being a non-issue. It gets warm to the touch, and no more than that. And to answer your last question, I just walked over and turned mine on, and left the tuner off. I cra...

It works both ways.That’s exactly right. You can stop at any time just as easily. Go look at the number of posts in the thread, and then count the number of them that are yours. In my entire life, I’ve yet to see an argument with only one partici...
