| What Integrated Amp do You use I'll include what speakers I'm using with my Luxman L-509xAudio Note AN-K/SPx SE, and an Epik Valor Sub(15" Sealed)The L-509x is biased to deliver 6watts in Pure Class A - so practically all of my listening sessions are Class A levels. | |
| Preamp/Integrated with Loudness button All of the current Luxman’s have the Loudness feature on the remote, the unit itself only has the Loudness light/indicator to show on/off if you hit the button on the remotehttp://www.luxman.com/asset/product/L-505uXII/gb4.jpg | |

| Class D amps seem poised to take over. Then what? I reject the premise of the thread title.I buy amps based on performance, value, aesthetics. As do most buyers.I don't bring "class" into the picture. Class D started as the "beyond meat" of amplification designs. Ok, fine, they have gained a f... | |
| Luxman 507/509 I asked Luxman USA in an email about the Class A envelope for the new L-509X(which I bought) and the L-550axii I was consideringHere is their response that I got:" The Luxman L-509x is an excellent amplifier. It is considered “top of the line” an... | |
| Is louder better? Yes - until the wife comes downstairs and gives you the stink eye as she walks by. | |
| Hacking a Luxman Integrated I had a discussion on this with Luxman USA via email.If there are no active signals connected to the preamp side of the Luxman while in Separate, then the preouts will be silent.So, if using the Luxman in "HT Mode" by way of using the Mains In con... | |
| Stereophile's 2021 products of the year Haters love to hate.If you read JA's comments in the measurements - plenty of reviews have cautionary(can even read some as 'negative') comments.I don't think some here have even read it, but the pile on is to be expected. | |
| How loud are you typically listening? Casual listening - mid 70'sWhen the family is out - mid 80'sWhen I want to scare the neighbors - upper 90's | |
| Hacking a Luxman Integrated What about connecting the pair of SB3000’s to both the Denon and the Luxman?Subwoofer output from the Denon to each of the LFE inputs on the subs, the Left line level from each of the Luxman preouts? (Sub 1: Luxman Left preout, Sub 2: Luxman Right... | |
| How does my MF A308 compare to modern integrated amps in the $3000-$6000 range? I also have ATCs; SCM11v2s.I also really liked the MF/ATC matchup, but the Luxman is even better.But only you can decide if you want to try something different.I like to buy used (here or other sites). That way I can try gear for myself and flip i... | |
| How does my MF A308 compare to modern integrated amps in the $3000-$6000 range? Just my 2cents worth.I went from a Musical Fidelity A5 integrated (which I absolutely loved for years and years), to a Luxman L-509X - and it was a definite upgrade.I got the Luxman used for just over $6K and thought it was worth the coin.Improved... | |
| Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ? @kren0006 wrote:"As a direct example, some feel that the Luxman 509X class AB at $9.5k sounds better than the Luxman 590axii class A at $9k. Can’t get much more absolute-busting than that. Same company, both integrateds with same features, essenti... | |
