Recommendations for speakers with Luxman 509x
OP that is the exact amp/speaker pairing I am considering so please let us know how it turns out 
Monitor suggestions?
Yes you will definitely need to choose between sealed and bass shy or ported. I’d be suspicious of specs that say sealed monitor to 35hz (many ported do not either for example). Simple physics  
RGPC 1200 custom vs. Furman Elite 15 pfi
With the RGPC Just try it both ways and see what sounds better. Power conditioners are really system dependent. Sometimes will sound better with amp plugged in, sometimes to wall. RGPC works in parallel and they sometimes recommend plugging amp in...

Don’t forget about the most knowledgable poster on these forums - Atma-sphere, made in Minnesota. Anticables, Audio Mirror and Van Alstine also, same state. Audio Research, Magnepan, Bel Canto previously mentioned. 
Luxman 590axii ventilation
I just demo'd the L509x.  It was positioned in open on a mono amp stand, but even after operation for over an hour it was warm but nowhere close to hot, I'd almost call it only slightly warm.  Now obviously in a shelf that will change, and worse i...

Verdant,just based on your past experiences with the Weiss how would you characterize its house sound compared to others in general?or if you prefer not to comment outside of the specific comparison you’ve arranged with this shootout I understanda...

I own an ARC DSI200 and like it a lot. Highly recommended

Sounds good - should be fun.  Interested to see what you find, and thanks for sharing

OP so you are a dealer carrying every DAC that you are shoot-out-ing? (or if that's not right please correct).  I wondered in initial post how many of the DACs you carried as dealer and how many were lines you did not carry.

Price went up 25% last couple days. Ouch 
Recommendation for Class-A integrated amp
Coda Csib is not a class A integrated, which is what the OP is looking for. Class A integrated amps operate in class A over their entire spec’d power band, not over some small fraction of it. Coda is a class A/B biased to operate in class A over s...
