Luxman D07x
For that kind of money, I would look at Esoteric.  I never much cared for Luxman and I was a Luxman dealer from 1978 to 1983. I find them a bit soft sounding.   
Speaker Cable Recommendation to upgrade Tribuataries in Wall UL rated cable
I have heard Tributaries cables and never found them lean sounding.  They make the McIntosh branded cables which can go for thousands of dollars.  My personal choice is Canare 4S11 cable.  The break in time is around 500 hours but they sound great... 
LIST ALL YHE SPEAKERS YOU HAVE OWNED THEN TILL NOW!
@roxy54, I am so happy you are enjoying the speakers.  They are just so musical.  I spent many nights glued to the sofa listening to them.   When I got my Golden Ear Triton Refs, I put the speakers in my upstairs office in the boxes.  Months late...

LIST ALL YHE SPEAKERS YOU HAVE OWNED THEN TILL NOW!
Since the early 70’s when I got into the hobby, I have owned the following speakers. I am unsure of some of the model #’s so bear with me. Please keep in mind I worked in an audio store from 1972-1985 and all the speakers up to the Ambient 66 were... 
Benchmark or McIntosh....
Mac equipment provides plenty of detail, but not the fake detail which results in brightness.  
looking for an integrated amp in the $1500 range
If you want to waste your money, buy an amp.  If you want to solve your problem, get higher efficiency (93db and higher) speakers.  Buying a bigger or more powerful amp will NOT help low level listening.

I have found McIntosh amps always sound better with a McIntosh preamp.  II had a Rogue RP5 preamp that I paired with a McIntosh MC152 and the sound seemed off.  It was nothing I could put my finger on but I didn’t like it.  I sold the Rogue and ad... 
Mark levinson no.32 preamp can’t be fully power up
First thing I would do is open it up and check to see if one of the fuses is blown.  There could be a fuse for each channel.  That would be your best outcome because you would just be replacing a fuse.

It will be a match made in Heaven.  
Speaker Cable Recommendation
Canare 4S11 cable.  You will thank me later.  
Audio stand needed....Moving main components from mechanical room to listening room
Check out Solid Steel on MD site.  They make a really nice rectangular unit, and you can have 2 or 3 shelves, there are options.  The 2 shelf is $700 and the 3 shelf is $1000.  Great quality, I have 3 of their audio racks over 2 of my systems.  Do... 
Mystere ia21 a good integrated ?
Mystere is built in the same factory as Prima Luna and is designed by the same team.  It is a more purist form of Prima Luna.   
20a hc power cable need adaptor to use with my 15a equipment
I have 2 Shunyata Copperhead cables I use with the adaptor.  One uses the VooDoo and the other is the Pangea.  I hear absolutely no difference.  At the time, the Pangea was much cheaper than the VooDoo.  
Whats playing on your system today?
