LUXMAN 505u?
For those who owns the 505u, even though its a 100w amp, how is the power ? is it more powerful than what the specs suggest ?I'm very curious about this amp & hope to audition them soon as well. 
LUXMAN 505u?
I have yet to hear a Class A solid state amp that is fatiguing and tiring to listen to.This includes the Class A's from Accuphase, Lamms, Pass Labs, and others.I think the ancilliary wiring and cords would make a difference though.Perhaps there is... 
Accuphase P-7100 or A-65?
The Class A accuphase amps are quite something else.If the 60w Class A amp can drive your speakers, by all means, go for them.They impart a certain fluidity, clarity, and midrange ripeness that is hard to ignore.W/ your PMC, I don't see any proble... 
Luxman L505u . . . why not?
How big of sound quality difference between 505u and the 507u ?thanks 
Integrated with Phono Stage under $10K
The Accuphase E450 can be fitted with an internal phono card and its not bad at all.The LFD Zero LE III can be ordered w/ built in phono stage and its good as well.But I think the external ones will somewhat have an advantage over the internal bui... 
Paint crack Wilson Sophia 2
I have a feeling it wont affect the sound but that's kinda discouraging to see those little cracks in the beautiful body of the Sophia IIs. 
Monitor speaker that will stop the Quest?
Harbeth SHL5s 
Exposure 2010Sv NAD 375BEE Worth comparing??
NeilspeedI would be curious how your NAD would pair with the ATC 11 as those speakers are quite power hungry but i understand the NADs seem to drive them well.Hoping for your inputs if you do get the chance to try them out. 
Luxman L505u . . . why not?
Other than Harbeths, what other speakers are you driving your 505u or 550II with ?is the 550 as powerful as the 505u ?Thanks for the info. 
Integrated amp with built in DTS Decoder ?
it looks like it. thanks! 
Rowland 2 or Accuphase A50?
Both can sound very good depending on system synergy but i would take the accuphase over the rowland having owned both brands but different models.the accuphase is silky, more refine and just for me, more organic.But that is not to say the rowland... 
Are Harbeth S HL5's As Good As Reviewers Claim?
the beauty about the shl5s is that they can sound very good be it tubes, solid state, and hybrid amps. They are easy to get along and they sound great.As you go higher the ancillary chain, they can reveal the strengths but not so much the weakness... 
Are Harbeth S HL5's As Good As Reviewers Claim?
You know, there is a lot of people worldwide that can claim the shl5s as one of their final speakers & I couldn't blame them.Are they perfect, no. But for some, it is as good as it gets especially at this price point.I myself have not upgraded... 
NAD vs. Cambridge Audio
The one thing that amazes me about the NAD is their ability to drive hard to drive speakers despite their low wattage. Something to do with its power envelope. 
Good speakers for a small room?
