| Luxman 590AX II Break-In Kef Reference 1 Meta speakers, These speakers have a low sensitivity and impedance. I6 x 18 room is rather large and that might have contributed to the less than stellar result you are currently getting with the speakers. | |
| Luxman 590AX II Break-In I have about 175 hours, and my bass is less than stellar. Also, there is not a luscious midrange (yet). I have read epic reviews but have not experienced that thus far. What should I expect over time? Getting a little worried! The L-590AXII ... | |
| 15 ohm speakers yea or nay? Yogiboy, I’m glad the SHL5 Plus has lived up to your expectations. They are good speakers. I suspect the Quicksilver tube amp brought out the best in the Harbeth. I have used solid-state amps with the Harbeth all my life, about 12 years and the sp... | |
| Acrolink Cables, anyone heard them? By the way, the Acrolink 8N-PC8100 Performante costs more than the DAC that's connected to it. It may sound crazy but that's the way it is. | |
| Acrolink Cables, anyone heard them? I have compared the Acrolink 8N-PC8100 Perfomante to Wireworld Silver Electra 7 on my Luxman DA-06 DAC. The Acrolink sounds bolder and more dynamic, the WW flatter with reduced macro dynamics. I have Acrolink 7N-PC9700 on my amp. I’ll be comparin... | |
| Naim Supernait Upgrade time I saw your post on the Naim forum. My advice is to replace the Supernait with another amp from a different maker if you find the current set up to bring high listening fatigue. | |
| Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390 NAD C388, MSRP $2k. Looks a lot like the Hegel. If I were looking at an amp within this price range, I would be able to accept the NAD although sound quality may not measure up. | |
| Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390 Hegel is marketing their products as high end without the high end price. The price may not be high end costing up to say $20k or 30k but they are not exactly cheap. The MSRP of the H390 and H590 is $6k and $11k respectively which is far fro... | |
| Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390 Correction to the above post; OTHER SELECTED AMPS - slightly hazy, not as clean, *less* refined and detailed with reduced nuanced delivery although music may sound bolder or more dynamic with punchier bass etc. | |
| Acrolink 8N-PC8100 Power Cable Hi Jafant, sorry for the late response. Yes I'm currently swapping between the Wireworld and Acrolink cords. All are good cords and it's a matter of matching the right cord to the right component to achieve the best sound or result. The WW Elect... | |
| Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390 FWIW I’ve owned both of these and like them both a lot. I would say Luxman sounds more natural tonally with a clean and clear presentation that is also sweet, liquid, and a touch warm. Hegel also has a sweet, but a touch drier and meatier sound, ... | |
| Why such a huge price difference? Chord SignatureXL speaker cable Ouch! | |
| Wireworld Electra 7 Jafant and fthompson251, sorry for the late response as I was busy at work. I also didn’t spend much time with the hifi lately. It's good to hear that the Silver Electra 7 has worked out for you. Similarly it did to me, and it’s the same experienc... | |
| Sub Pairing With Harbeth 40.3 XDs All good points. It’s hard to explain and I presume more knowledgeable or experienced folks would be able to describe it better. My old sub can be considered as poor as it is either too "in your face" or too subtle. If the bass sticks out too much... | |
| Sub Pairing With Harbeth 40.3 XDs Some of these Subs like the REL S/812 seemed kinda pricey....an Emminence $250 speaker in a shiny powered cabinet doesn’t seem worth $3200? Yes it's quite expensive but it delivers. It's the performance that matters. Some costly hifi may not p... |
