I have NOVA V's and I am not happy
Sonus faber contrary to reviews are indeed a bit agressive in the higher registers. Even worse with mcintosh. Your room could be playing a role for sure BUT Ive experienced the same thing with fabers.   
Speaker Hum
I had the same issue - try a humx - that worked for me.   
Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like
Ive owned the 590axII as well as the 509x - I like the 590axII in regard to sound quality. The 509x is a hair more anylitical sounding? I don’t want to say dry - BUT I've had 3 590axII’s and they ALL buzzed - they all had audible transformer buzz,...

Pass Labs Int 25 vs Int 60
Ive owned both - both are amazing. The 25 sounds better at lower volumes but does indeed get agressive when turned up. It does not scale well. The 60 sounds great at low volumes as well but absolutely sings when turned up. Its fantastic. I kept th... 
Primaluna or not Primaluna
Primaluna is meh. Great build quality, i liked primaluna best with kt150s. I found Line Magnetic to sound far better. I loved the LM 845 Premium.
