| Synergy @bassbuyer Thank you! I got a good one (wife and sound system lol). | |
| Synergy @gdaddy1 Congrats sir! It sounds like you have your system dialed in. That’s what we’re all aiming for. Enjoy the music! | |
| Synergy @sls883, thank you!. Good to be content with our systems huh? Have a good one. | |
| 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... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? @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... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? 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. ... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? 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... | |
| McIntosh to Luxman? 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. | |
| Punchy integrated with DAC Thanks @hoytis. I hadn't thought about PS Audio. I'll do some research on that unit. I see that Music Direct has a factory refurb Marantz PM6005 Integrated with the appropriate DAC input for $525. I've not listened to Marantz gear in a while,... |
