Luxman L505u . . . why not?
Thank Renjy-- I'm going to try out the 507u. 
Axpona Show Music Demos
I went. It was smaller than most shows.The most memorable rooms for me: The TAD Monitor demo was great. Bass was strong and tight but not overwhelming, loud but not fatiguing, vocals were smooth but with lots of satisfying texture. (Lots of "buts"...

I misspelled the name. It's Cardeas.

Anyone going to Axpona NYC this Friday/Saturday? 
Luxman L505u . . . why not?
Has anyone with the Luxman integrated amps tried the feature that lets you use it simply as a power amp, using your own preamp?I have a nice tubed preamp and think that's a nice feature, as for just another pair of interconnects, I can choose betw... 
MiniMonitor 33lbs w/realistic vocals,not bright.
Well, I got a pair of old Sonus Faber Cremona Auditors and they are just great. So much better than the Quads (12Ls, now used on my computer, doing a nice job there for youtube).The Auditors have really smooth but lifelike gorgeous vocals, the bas... 
Speakers free of grain, glare and steel?
I have Harbeths (SHL5s), (old) Ohm Walsh 4s, had Aerial 10Ts, and had Von Schweikerts. My Harbeths can actually ring a bit at the wrong height/angle. I need to place them lower than is advised.You need to be a little careful with SHL5s to get them... 
Luxman L505u . . . why not?
Is the Luxman 505u a good match for Sonus Faber speakers (like Cremona Auditors)? I prefer a little warmth for my popular music. 
Has anyone had the $ 5k upgrade to their cdsa-se ?
The x upgrade warms up the cdsa a lot and adds resolution and is worth every penny to mine.But the xds1 removes even the last traces of digital chill and really improves performance on poorly mastered CDs and adds another level of analog-style rel... 
Please, help me choose speakers for my Graaf GM200
Eight years on. Wow. I hope mstary is doing well... 
ATC scm 19 vs ATC scm 20SL?
Another thread (on the SCM19) I read called ATC ruthlessly revealing, but some larger ones I heard some years back did not sound that way (just musical but clear and even silky but with impact).So are they revealing with piercing highs or (as a fo... 
ATC scm 19 vs ATC scm 20SL?
OK, thanks. What about the sonics of the SCM16A in general (especially vocals)? I am thinking of moving (up?) from a pair of Quad 12L actives. I have seen no info in the forums on these here in Audiogon or some other popular sites. (I'm kind of su... 
ATC scm 19 vs ATC scm 20SL?
Any comments on the sound of the SCM16A with a good tube preamp (say one using PX4 & 6NS7 tubes? Thanks!
