New Luxman 507Z Integrated coming in October.
Other changes are coming. 2025 marks the company's 100th year. So it will be releasing more upgrades. 
Threshold T-200. Help me choose a preamplifier
The T-200 was designed by Michael Bladelius. He was originally hired by Nelson Pass. Michael also designed the Forte 4A a 50 wpc Class A amp. I had one years ago and always regretted selling it. Forte was the budget line of Threshold. The big diff...

Tube Amp recommendations to drive Klipsch Forte III
Luxman MQ88U C tube amp. My dealer uses it with the Klipsch Heritage speakers. Works great w/the Hersey's to the K-Horns. 
Help/advice, upgrading my vintage amplifier!
The Prima Luna EVO 100 would be excellent w/the Klipsch speakers. 
Anthem AV MRX shipping?
There is a world wide chip shortage that is affecting everything from cell phones, cars, home appliances, tv's and audio products. Anthem is in Canada which got hit hard by the pandemic. I ordered a Bryston 3B cube amp in early July. Maybe I'll ge... 
Bryston, McIntosh, Krell or Mark Levinson
Bryston services every amp they have built. Customer service is one of the best in the industry. You can also go to Audio Circle forum and Bryston CEO James Tanner has an active thread. He'll answer any question you have. 
Bryston, McIntosh, Krell or Mark Levinson
The late Jim Thiel was a fan of Bryston amps. He used them at many of his demos. He also disliked McIntosh amps. My dealer who knew Jim Thiel for many years talked to him one time and told his he was using McIntosh amps. He was not pleased. 
Tube preamp for my Bryston 7B3
I'm using a Bryston 2.5 SST2 w/a Luxman CL38U SE tube preamp w/excellent results.  
What Have You Done With Your Obsolete/Outdated AV Receivers & Preamps? 😳
Still using a 2004 Krell Showcase HT Processor for movies. Built like a tank. Maybe because there's no HDMI along w/all the other stuff they stick in todays AVR's and processors is why it still works. Got my money's worth w/this processor. 
Parasound A21+ vs Adcom GFA-585se
Parasound amps are excellent. The JC-1 Mono Blocks were rated Class A for 15 consecutive years. 
Bryston 3B cubed or 4B cubed?
The pandemic in Canada affected their production. As I stated above I'm on the waiting list for my 3B cube amp. Be patient. 
Best preamp with built in phono stage?
I've been very happy w/my Luxman CL38U SE for the last 4 years. The phono uses 3 12AX7 tubes and has 4 step up transformers. 2 for MC high and 2 for MC low. Currently I'm using a Dyanavector Karat 17DX as my cart w/excellent results.  
AVR: Internal 2 CHANNEL AUDIO MODE. OR: HT BYPASS (external equipment for 2 CH Sources)
I have a 2 channel preamp for music and a HT processor. I don't use HT passthrough. I use my 2 channel Bryston amp. The RCA connections go to the 2 channel preamp for music and the balanced connections on the amp are hooked up to the HT processor....
