| Line Magnetic 508ia and the Elusive 805 Tube @shkong78 Legacy Aeris is what I got myself. Heard a lot of speakers in RMAF 2018 recently and this is what I thought is best sound and value to me. Got the Wavelet too a must in my opinion. | |
| Making a difficult decision You could also try this:https://www.stereophile.com/content/rogue-audio-sphinx-integrated-amplifierMeasurements are good all the way to 200W @ 4 Ohm.https://www.stereophile.com/content/rogue-audio-sphinx-integrated-amplifier-measurements | |
| Making a difficult decision @audiomaze, wrong comparison, nova150 working well for Paradigm is not the same as working well with your speaker. Paradigms are 92 dB / 89 dB and are stable at 8 ohm (if I remember right) very easy to drive and they have been like this for someti... | |
| Please tutor me on some integrated amp basics. Unless you have long runs of speaker cable Bluejeans top cable is 10 AWG and is really good. I don't mind budget cable as long it provides same value which is the optimal thing to do anyway. | |
| ATI AT543NC recent user feedback? @auxinput thanks | |

| SET v. Pushpull Did he state how far is he sitting from them?. His room also plays a role. 22 watts for 83 dB is low. You want your amp to be operating at 50% or lower to achieve peaks of 97 to 100 dB swings given the impedance swings of your speakers. May be hyb... | |
| ATI AT543NC recent user feedback? No one is running ATI class D for music ?. | |
| Line Magnetic 508ia and the Elusive 805 Tube @shkong78, wow gorgeous speakers up for sale. I am waiting for my delivery of Legacy Aeris, they are active amplified for the bass section.I am still not sure how LM 508ia will perform with them. I am also considering testing out a beefy class D a... | |
| Right channel louder, BAT VK-P10SE SuperPak with Ortofon 2M Bronze(MM) @dgarretson yes I did use the manual for adjusting the jumpers. I am going to clean them as you suggested. I did notice black stuff at the contact points.I will look at replacing them, please suggest what would be good replacement for them. | |
| SET v. Pushpull @wolf_garcia guilty!. | |
| Luxman m-900u owners - quick question Have you considered an used M800A?, puts more in Class A (and heat) than M900u and outperforms its own spec by margin as measured by Stereophile. | |
| Making a difficult decision @audiomaze, hint6 is great I have heard it. It is a good all rounder. Integrates are hard to compare in my view. What is more important for you?. With hint6 first few watts will be Class A. Not sure if that matters to you. Your speakers are 83 dB/... | |
| Luxman L-509X @danimaz, perhaps your speakers need more watts?. Generally Luxman gear is conservatively rated. But regarding integrates I am not sure, the measurements for Luxman 509x are here https://www.stereophile.com/content/luxman-l-509x-integrated-amplifi... | |
| The "how many reviews it got" rule I would read any audiophile review with a pinch of salt. I would look at measurements and look for forums about complaints of build or support issue. Then look at components used, design etc and of-course price.I am in the camp that thinks good am... |
