| Struggling in choosing Bookshelf Speakers and Amp for a Luxman PD-151 M2! Please help. You will get tons of recommendations and opinions. IF it was me, I would look for a used Luxman 509x integrated amp (just replaced with the 509z) and a used pair of Harbeth speakers suited to your room, ears and total budget. You could do much wor... | |
| Finally got a Luxman @last_lemming I am with you. About a year ago I bought the same Luxman integrated. I wanted to simplify so I sold my Exposure SS gear and my vintage McIntosh tube gear. I find the Luxman to be an improvement over my previous gear. I still get a t... | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD You know, at the end of the days, it is going to come down to listening with you ears, in your room, with your system and your preferences. You will literally get hundreds of various recommendations. They are all well intentioned (well, maybe exce... | |
| Tube Integrated With Clarity I really like the LTA gear and the guys that run the company. My son lives right outside DC and maybe 10 minutes from their shop in Takoma Park, MD. If you are anywhere close, you should visit them in person. I did that and spent a few hours talki... | |
| Luxman vs Accuphase for Harbeth 40.3 XD Well, I can't give you a direct answer, but I can tell you that my Luxman L-505uXii mates very well with my Harbeth 30.1 speakers. There is a warmish character to the amp (in my room, with my ears) and the sound is balanced. I get more bottom end ... | |
| Building a 100 album vinyl collection 3 must have albums are? So for fun, I would offer three Christian music classics. Every song on these albums are very good and the production is extremely solid. Larry Norman - "In Another Land" Randy Stonehill - "Welcome to Paradise" Mark Heard - "Appalachian Melo... | |
| Cable elevators I actually made some out of a crepe myrtle tree that my son wanted cut down. I took the trunk and cut about 1" cookies. Sanded them, let them dry and used them to get my Canare cables off the carpet. Did they make a difference? I have no idea, but... | |
| What speaker could safely be ordered without hearing it first? Harbeth speakers work well with Luxman solid state integrated amps. You can’t get much safer than that. | |

| my shortlist for integrated Harbethsuper hl5 plus xd - please advise FYI on the Luxman L509x. It is at the end of its production life and will be replaced with a more costly L509z. You may start seeing more 509x models on the market. I have the current L505uXII. I am very pleased with it, but sometimes I wonder if ... | |
| my shortlist for integrated Harbethsuper hl5 plus xd - please advise I would not chase products based on magazine reviews. I have done that a time or two and was always underwhelmed. I honestly don't trust politics of professional reviews. I strongly suggest that you audition any thing that you will spend your hard... | |
| my shortlist for integrated Harbethsuper hl5 plus xd - please advise I think you are fortunate if you can audition those amps with your speakers. I have a pair of Harbeth 30.1 speakers. I had used an Exposure 3010 s2D for a number of years. There were times when I got somewhat restless with the amp/speaker combinat... | |
| Node X I am really interested to see how you feel after you have some hours on it. The one thing I really can't put up with is a hard, etched treble. I hav chosen electronics and speakers to specifically avoid that trait in my room with my ears. | |
| Node X Thanks. Please post your perspective. | |
| Snarky Puppy is On Tour! Saw them several years ago in a small club in Grandview (near Columbus OH). Thoroughly enjoyed them and walked away pretty impressed with their individual and collective talent. Especially enjoyed the drummer at the time, Sput Seawright. |
