Integrated Amp Question for a Newbie to the Forum
Thanks, yyzsantabarbara. Good to know you're a fan of the 585 too. Seems like Class A amps put out a bit more power and may sound a bit warmer. Overgeneralization? On another note, I'm curious what you all think are the quality music streamers out...

Ah great advice. I do like the MA’s. Sounds like the new Silvers or Gold would be a worthwhile upgrade. As far as neutral goes, do you find that’s a desirable sound profile? I’m just getting into the differences between neutral, warm and bright. C...

These look pretty nice. https://www.bowerswilkins.com/home-audio/600-series-anniversary/603Would they pair better with the Hegel or the Luxman? Or something else?

What about B&W speakers under 3k? Do those match well with the same amps? Open to upgrading the speakers and the amp at the same time.

I was afraid of that. What kind of JBL's/

How would you describe the sound of the Pass vs the Hegel? I'm coming from old McIntosh gear and play guitar out of old tube amps so I "believe" I'm inclined to warmth and tight bass but I'm just learning all this nomenclature as well.

Awesome advice, thanks geof3. Sorry for the newbie question, but what does the Class A amp get you vs an AB, etc? Haven't looked much into Pass but will now. What made you trade the Hegel in for the pass?  
Integrated Amp Question for a Newbie to the Forum
verdantaudio great note on the speakers. I'll look into upgrading those down the line. so I think I'm narrowing it down to the Hegel and the Luxman. both seem to get glowing reviews but I'm hearing the Hegel may be a better match to my current spe...

Yeah, I was looking at the H390 last night as well. I like the price point and it seems like it may be a decent match for my system? The money I save I could put toward a great streamer like the Lumin T2. 
Integrated Amp Question for a Newbie to the Forum
Which one? ;-) 
Integrated Amp Question for a Newbie to the Forum
There's a dealer in Los Gatos (Basil Audio) that has the Luxman. He actually says they're all spoken for but can order one to be here in a few weeks.

What do you all hear on the lumin T2? A friend of mine has it and says it’s pretty outstanding as a streamer.

Thanks for the intel on Bluesound and Innuous! Will look into it! 
Integrated Amp Question for a Newbie to the Forum
Ah good to know. Do you think the models I've mentioned are overkill or worth pursuing given the system I have? 
Integrated Amp Question for a Newbie to the Forum
I've actually sent he MX110 back to Audio Classics where I bought it from many years back. As for the Jolida, it's a nice preamp for the TT. If the integrated amp's phono preamp is superior I'll just just that directly but may wind up keeping it a...
