| my shortlist for integrated Harbethsuper hl5 plus xd - please advise You can’t go wrong with the hegal. For 4K on the used market, its hard to beat IMO. I have a Pass 250, Accuphase 380, Mac Ma353 and the Hegal. I can nit pick all of them, but it’s hard to find anything with the Hegal. Midrange is some of the best ... | |
| Which Hegel Amp with LRS+ As the owner of pass 250, Accuphase 380, mac ma 352,and hegal 390, I can tell you the 390 is very warm. In fact I would say you have to be careful speaker matching with the hegal. I had my mac running wth my NHT c3’s and it was magic to my ears. ... | |
| Experience with Luxman L-550 AXII If you are looking for warm intrgrated, might check oout the Hegal 390. It’s a very nice amp, but of course the luxman looks nicer. | |
| Speakers matching Pas INT 60 I used Dynaudio special 40. | |
| Downsizing: Separates>Integrated --PSAudio>Pass Labs Pass 250 is a very good choice. I ow one myself. If you do’t need the power the pass it 60 is also a good choice. Another amp I would consider would be the Hegal 590. I’d I did not have the pass that would be my choice. Much less money on the use ... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? I would like to correct something. I have a Mac 352 Hybrid and it is NOT rolled off at all. In fact I had to change the preamp tubes to warm it up a bit. Treble detail was very good, used on my Goldenear BRX | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? It would be good if you could listen the the Luxman in your system before you decide. I own the Ma 352 which is the bigger brother to your amp. I can tell you there are attributes to my mac that I just like. I also have a Pass 250, Accuphase 380, ... | |
| Krell K-300i vs. other integrated amps under 10k I’ve never head the newer Krell intergated, but you mentioned the Hegal 390 and for the money it is a very impressive sounding amp. In my system, lush mids and very good bass. Very smooth as well. I also have a Pass integrated 250, Accuphase 380, ... | |
| Buchardt S400 Mk II vs Sony SSCS 5 in Bass lanx0003 , I would not put a lot of stock in what a reviewer says. I own Goldenear BRS, Kef, LS50 meta, Buchardts 400rk2 special editions, and I have a pair of Dali Minuete SE on the way. I have not heard the Dali's yet, but all of my speakers hav... | |
| Maybe buying a different amp I have a mac 352, a Pass 250, Hegal 390, Accuphase 380. Before you decide Check out the Hegal and If your budget allows the 590. The Mac is ok, depending what speakers you will be using. The Pass and the Hegal wont care what speakers you use. If y... | |
| Buchardt S400 Mk II vs Sony SSCS 5 in Bass I do use a sub(B&W DB3). I also have a Schitt Loki max eq and though I dont need it much, it can and does correct and music I listen to. With any bookshelf I recommend a sub. I have a pair of LS50 metas and with my sub those things can rock. A... | |
| Best €2500 sub purely for music? Not the most popular, but I-can attest that the B&W DB3 is VERY musical and fast.1000W CLASS D amp. Has rooM correction and the sub is controlled by an amp on your phone. Balanced and RCA imputS. It is seamless whichever speaker I use with it.... | |
| Buchardt S400 Mk II vs Sony SSCS 5 in Bass Lanx I do not remember the MRK 2 being polite. However, they do not kick like my dynaudio speial 40’s. You should give them a try if they are in your budget. Almost any Dynaudio speaker will give you the sound you are looking for.. I just install ... | |
| Recommendations for modern integrated with tone & balance controls other than Mcintosh I purchase a schitt LOki Max and I will tell you it works MUCH better than the tone controls on my Mac and Accuphase. I was a purist too, but the Max changed that. Instead of changing the sound it seems to change the characteristic of the speakers... | |
| Luxman L-590AXII vs Pass Labs INT-60 I have owned the Pass 60 and upgraded to the 250. I also have a Accuphase 380 in my collection of amps. I have only listen the the Accuphase for about 2weeks since I purchased it new. From the description of the Luxman sound the Accuphase sounds v... |
