Yeah with that ARC GSi and the Luxman 590 those are two amazing options.  Glad you got to hear both and kept the one you prefer

Basic Budget Bookshelf speakers
I have the Kef Q150 (msrp 600) and also the Triangle Borea BR02 (msrp 449).  I prefer the Triangle, even though they cost less.  The Kefs are good as well, but are not as good in the treble as the Triangles are, to me anyway.  I am using a Marantz...

Is it possible to bring your kids into this hobby?
My tween daughter thinks her Echo Dot sounds the same as the reference system. Sigh .........  But her best friend apparently is now into records and has started acquiring Beatles LPs.  ...  Thinking of trading kids, lol. 
Why would anyone want class AB amp when class A always sounds better ?
As a direct example, some feel that the Luxman 509X class AB at $9.5k sounds better than the Luxman 590axii class A at $9k. Can’t get much more absolute-busting than that. Same company, both integrateds with same features, essentially same price, ...

What OP said he/she wants:I prefer precise and high resolution speakers that have control low bass-smooth midrange-detailed treble, with internal imagery and attacks, high-pitched sound and instrument simulation.------To me OP’s desired sonic trai... 
Spendor D9.2 vs. Harbeth super hl5 plus xd + REL Stentor III vs. Spendor Classic 100?
So the Spendor D series sound quite different from the Spendor classic. To me the D series is much preferable, but others prefer the classic series. I started with D7 (absolutely love it - settled on after demoing over 20 competitors, see my early...

Krell K 300i Vs Hegel 390 Help
However, HiFiNews rated the $6k Cambridge Edge A as the sonic equivalent or nearly so of the Hegel H390’s pricier big brother and brand flagship Hegel H590, where the H590 is about double the cost of the Edge A. So perhaps the Edge A is the one to...
