| Amp for my B&W 802D3s and HTM2D3 Luxman M10X is very refined and offers a lot of power to tame the 802's woofers. I think the Diablo 300 would be a better fit. It is a powerful beast!! | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In @ps Thanks! One thing that I am perplexed over is the fact that all reviews of the Ref 1 Metas are stellar, and the bass is lauded, especially for a stand-mount. The good news is that I will visit a dealer this week to listen to higher-power amp... | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In @erik_squires Interestingly, about a year ago, I listened to a pair of LS 50 Metas powered by a PrimaLuna tube integrated. The room was smaller than mine; however, the bass output of the little KEFs was "jaw-dropping." I do believe my room may b... | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In @erik_squires I have followed your advice regarding tone controls. Reducing the treble and increasing the bass makes a slight improvement. I have been positioning with small improvements. Interestingly, the loudness button does give me more body... | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In @arafiq You are describing exactly what I am hearing! It pains me to admit, but the Luxman/KEF combo does not play well in the sandbox! There is absolutely no body to the music. The bass is improving slightly but not even close to what I desire. | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In @avanti1960 I am using the kef stands with Iso Acoustics Gaias. Been experimenting with speaker placement and have made slight improvements. | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In @celtic66 I use a pair of Analysis Big Silver Oval. | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In @tennisdoc56 I think I am experiencing the same thing you have! I know many have stated that room size has an effect, but I heard a pair of KEF LS 50's on the Luxman 20 W Class A in the same size room as mine, and the bass was jaw-dropping for a... | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In @erik_squires Thanks, great advice. I am currently 1ft. from the rear walls with a slight toe-in. I am still questioning the break-in time. Many have stated at least 300 hrs. Also, the KEFs are brand new and need some time. Right now, this is no... | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In Kef Reference 1 Meta speakers, Aries Cerat Helene DAC, Einstein Last Record Player CD player feeding DAC. I'm awaiting an Innuos Pulsar. Room is a converted mill building with drywall and exposed wood ceiling 16x18. Music is lifeless right now. | |
| Endgame Vocal+ DAC Help: Terminator Plus 12th vs. Chord DAVE vs. Holo May vs. Weiss502. @nlynchard The DAVE is good, but there are many others out there that are better. Please check out the Aries Cerat line of DACs. These are end-game products. I read an interesting thread in another forum that many have upgraded from DAVE to Arie... | |
| Innuos PULSE Mini? I do not believe they are shipping yet! I got my eye on a Pulsar and word is that they will not ship until December. | |
| Switched to Reimyo 777 dac/Lumin streamer and great experience with Audio Archon +1 for Mike Kay @ AA. Truly a professional! | |
| Looking at best option for 20-25k for DAC Streamer combo I would purchase separates in that price range. As for a DAC, look into the Aries Cerat line (Helene or Kassandra II). Their build/design philosophy is far different from the pack. Pair this with a nice streamer; you are good for ten years! | |
| Shipping 80lb amps. Ship on a pallet! I shipped an 85 lb amp via FedEx. It arrived at the buyer with a circuit board detached along with a capacitor. The box was intact with no damage. I guaranteed it was dropped to sustain that much damage. |
