| Would McIntosh Auto Transformers affect speaker sound? @degx1000 thank you, this was actually really interesting. Question please. Have you heard the MA12000 unit? If so, how would you describe the sound?Also, Does that use to modern transistors that you mentioned that are not particularly warm? | |
| Has anyone compared the Luxman 595 and the 590 AXII? When I was at the store, I heard the 590 AX II on Wilson Sashas 1. At my home, I have the 595 on the Focal Sophia 1s. I wonder how much of a difference that would make in the mids? | |
| Has anyone compared the Luxman 595 and the 590 AXII? No problem.... Thanks for the offer, though! 🙂 | |
| Has anyone compared the Luxman 595 and the 590 AXII? That's a odd question :) ... I live in Texas. Why? | |
| Do any McIntosh preamps have non digital filter for bass and treble? Naw, I mean recent models. I am sensitive to sound filters. If I wanted to go down that route, I would just get a class D. At least the MA12000 is still analog for the treble/bass. | |
| Would McIntosh Auto Transformers affect speaker sound? @audioquest4life Where I see that as a drawback, is if the speaker is rated at 8 ohms, but dips to 4 ohms, yet your amp does not have a 4 ohm tap, nor has good 4 ohm performance with the 8 ohm tap. Then, you could run into a mismatch as the spe... | |
| Focal Sopra 1 Bookshelves (with subs) or Focal Kanta 2s towers instead? Just a follow up... I ended up getting a good deal on the Focal Sopra 1s. They are really good! Love them. I plan on getting Sopra 2's in the future also. The Sopra 1s are so good I don't really need Sopra 2s. However, I am curious and wonder abo... | |
| Paypal drastic changes Woe, that is crazy. There is never a gain in selling used stuff.... especially hi-fi. So if I wanted to sell my luxman for thousands of dollars I would have to deal with this horribleness. This means also my accountant bill will be higher with ext... | |
| Focal Sopra n1 - mids are a bit recessed compared to Lumina IIs Just to follow up on this, I did the break-in period of 50 hours and the speaker sound 100% better. I think that was the issue | |
| Focal Sopra n1 - mids are a bit recessed compared to Lumina IIs I read on the Focal website that it takes about 50 hours to break in their speakers to get the correct audible characteristics. I think I might have total 1-2 hours. So maybe the mids might change? | |
| Focal Sopra n1 - mids are a bit recessed compared to Lumina IIs @deep_333 is it possible to bring up the freq graph of the Sonus Faber Lumina IIs to compare? @j-wall That sounds good, thanks. I kind of wish the Sopra's were brighter though. @ghdprentice You hit the bullseye about the Luxman. I am on the fe... | |
| Focal Sopra n1 - mids are a bit recessed compared to Lumina IIs @rsf507 @deep_333 when I heard the the Sopra 1s (and Kanta 2s) at the hifi store on a MacIntosh 12000, I did not detect recessed mids at all. In fact, I feel in love with the sound! The MacIntosh 12000 has a EQ, is that why? I can’t remember but... | |
| Focal Sopra n1 - mids are a bit recessed compared to Lumina IIs @deep_333 would it be like that also for the kanta 2s? I was deciding between those and the sopras 1, I went with the sopras because they were a good deal. But now I wonder if I should got the kanta 2s | |
| What is meant exactly by the description 'more musical'? @webking185 wow, I think it’s cool that you have that collection. To me, my Yamaha setup is a bit more detailed because it has more of a holographic stage than my Luxman 595. I love my Yamaha setup which is a r n2000a used as a preamp to a AS-... | |
| Higher-End Class A/B vs. Class A Integrateds @erik_squires for the Yamahas, the 2000 greatly influences the as 3200. With the AS-3200 by itself I do not like it. It has to be with the 2000. They go really good together. I have not messed with any preamps for the Luxman. I figure for the... |
