McIntosh to Luxman?
Hey all, Happy Thursday! The MA252 was boxed and shipped to CO yesterday. No doubts and no regrets (yet).  The Luxman is a really cool piece of gear.  I'm still in the "get to know you" stage, and it's been a lot of fun!  We'll be doing some const... 
McIntosh to Luxman?
@decathlon1991  I've only had Maggies in the last 20 years. I owned Klipsch Heresy speakers for a few months, sold them and took a bath on the price.  Oh well.  My point is, I don't have much recent experience with "dynamic" speakers.  However, I... 
McIntosh to Luxman?
Back to my assessment of the Luxman... 1.  The lady of the house says "Did you get a new stereo?" 😀😀  She thinks it looks really cool. 2.  Build quality is top-notch.  Dials feel great. Input dial moves from position to position with a nice "thw...

@vitussl101  Detail, imagine & impact. I think the Luxman nails it on all three fronts. One word comes to mind: Command…total control of my 1.7s.  Snare hits have more impact and “bite” with the Luxman. The top end is more present and very smo...

Good evening. The Luxman arrived today. Got my streamer hooked up and listened for a few minutes. Then my lady says “hey, can you pick up some food?” Off to get Chinese. 😁   First impression…holy s***. So the Maggie’s CAN make some serious bass. ...

Update…Luxman ordered.  😁 I’ll check back in a week or so. Thanks to everyone.  ~ Jerry  
McIntosh to Luxman?
Again, everyone, thanks for your feedback.  It's much appreciated.    @caphill ...yeah, a new streamer would be next on my list. I guess at the moment,  I'm smitten with the Luxman amp.  @woots ...thanks for the recommendation  @audioman58...su...

TMR has a 14 day return policy. I assume I’m on the hook for return shipping, should I decided against the Luxman.  Shipping is not cheap, but hey, getting a really cool piece of equipment to try out sounds like fun!  Thanks again guys.  ~ Jerry   
McIntosh to Luxman?
Thanks guys. I really appreciate your input. I like the comparison of McIntosh to a muscle car. Very appropriate! I do appreciate the “tonally rich” sound of my MA252. It sounds like the Lux is a totally different animal altogether. The Mc has qua... 
McIntosh to Luxman?
@erik_squires Thanks for the input! I saw your posts from a few years ago about your Luxman.  I was hoping you'd chime in. 😀 My only concern is that I've regretted selling equipment in the past. If the Luxman is the one, then the McIntosh has to ... 
After the thrill is gone
Agree with all the responses regarding Maggies. Recently tried floor-standing (floor sitting?) Klipsch Heresies. Not my cup of tea. Kept my 1.7s and sold the Klipschs. I’m quite happy with that decision.
