| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux I have 2 Friends using the 590 with Harbeth 40.2 (86DB) and Aerial Acoustics 5T (87DB) with great success. What model speakers are you using that are harder to drive than those?? | |
| Luxman 509X vs Mc452 + preamp That 30 W is enough to drive 86DB Speakers with ease as I have heard in 2 other systems. What speakers are you using that cant be driven by the 590?? | |
| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux I prefer to have Multiple setups so that it can accommodate the different styles of music I listen to. Obviously AC/DC and Dan Fogelberg aren't going to sound equally compelling if your limited to one lineup of amps/speakers. You put the "Soft" st... | |
| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux I can live with 3 watts...depends on what Speakers you have. Those 30 Watts are misleading as you will find out if you do your homework.Jetter...Never used the Pass. Came in a Bulk Deal. Person I got it from (original owner) used it with the Lux 9... | |
| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux I wont be using a 590 unless I get too weak to carry the 100 pound amps around (Which could be any day now). My current inventory is:Dag 400 Monos, ARC 160M Monos, ARC REF 10, Audio Note Jinro, Ayre KX-R Twenty, Pass Labs XA-25, Luxman C900/M900..... | |
| Going linear - The Luxman 507ux Might want to try the Luxman 590AXII. Several people I know have switched from the 509 to the 590 which has more of the CLASS A traits....Warmer/sweeter, better highs etc. The 509 Mirrors the M900 Amps where the 590 is closer to the M800A profile... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier, opinions and competition There was a review I read on the AHB2 that compared it to the Chord TToby. I have NEVER even heard of this Chord amp and yet according to this reviewer I think I would prefer it as its Warmer/Sweeter etc. I cant even find a review of this Chord a... | |
| Luxman 509X vs Mc452 + preamp Why are you choosing the 509X which has very little Class A over the 590AXII? I know numerous people who jumped on the 509X Hype train only to switch to the 590AXII later. I would never go back to Mcintosh after hearing Luxman/Dagostino/ARC etc I... | |
| Another new DAC: Audio Mirror My buddy just ordered the Tubador with every possible upgrade...around $2200. When I get his "review" I will jump on the bandwagon if its a stellar report. | |
| MORE Esoteric problems As an owner of the Esoteric K-01X 30th Anniversary model I can say without hesitation I would never buy another Esoteric. The Dac pales in comparison to the Luxman D-08U. Esoteric is highly overrated as a Disc Player. The Chord Dave/Blu2 Combo als... | |
| Best speakers for classic rock Ive had MANY JBL's and I can tell you DONT get the L100's for 70's/80's Classic Rock. I would also NEVER suggest HARBETH because they are far too polite for this Genre.My favorite JBL's is actually a Combo that I use together...The L166 for the Hi... | |
| Benchmark AHB2 Amplifier, opinions and competition Kal Rubinson (The King of Multi-Channel Reviewers) uses 3 of these as Monoblocks in his 5.1 system. Has them hooked up to his Audio Research MP-1 Multi Channel Pre-Amp. High praise indeed!! | |
| What are the speakers you very rarely find in the Used market(Audiogon or Anywhere)? You can find plenty of Joseph Audio Pulsar's available but finding the Pearl's/Perspectives are tough. Was recently a pair of Pearl 3's here on Audiogon and they were snatched up in 2-3 days for 18K. | |
| Recent purchase - JBL 4410 Studio Monitors (Restoration Needs?) NOS Parts will cost you a small fortune if you need them...unless you buy used. MILLERSOUND has worked on all my JBL's and I highly recommend Bill if you need any work done. | |
| What are the speakers you very rarely find in the Used market(Audiogon or Anywhere)? I see O'93 pretty regular on Audiogon...Rarely O'96. I happen to have O'96's still sitting in their crates in a custom color you've never seen...Guess I would describe them as a Honey/Butterscotch color with a Quartz/Burl finish. I also have Au... |
