| Visit to Excel Audio I can tell you that D'Agostino works very very well with Wilson. Too bad you didn't get to hear it. I did hear it! It was excellent, but not what I was there for. | |
| Arguments devolve on threads to wordsmithing contests I don't know how to answer this. I thought argument was the point of this site?? :D Best,E | |
| Step down transformers detrimental to SQ? Sounds like you bought a Luxman on Ebay. :) Best,E | |
| Best Mods for a Mac-mini used as a Music Server The power supply is a big deal. If you can get a linear supply, do so. Regardless, put it on a separate conditioner outside your main power conditioner. The inexpensive Furman or PS Audio strips work really well, with LiFT and SMP, like this one:h... | |
| Speaker Width? Talk to GIK Acoustics. Great advice, and very very good prices on effective products. :) Also, look at their Art Panels. They'd be a lot better to look at than a bare wall. :) | |

| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux Hi @pokey77Nope, I heard the 507uxII’s with the Wilsons. He had moved the harbeth out of the way for a previous customer. I don't know how the Wilsons were configured, but I was forced to engage the Luxman's tone controls to get the system balance... | |
| Luxman 507uXi vs. Luxman 507uXii 507 doubles down into 4ohms. 505 doesn't. Good eye! I missed that. Best,E | |
