| Luxman L505u . . . why not? Choosing between the two top Luxman integrateds (590Aii and 509u) is not easy. They both cost about the same (10K), but one is 30 wpc pure class A (590Aii) and the the other 120 wpc class AB (509u).Though I have seen more positive comments about t... | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? I just checked the Verity Audio website - the Amadis is further UP the food chain than the Parsifal, and sits between the Parsifal and the Sarastro II. The Amadis therefore fills the $15K price gap between the $20K Parsifal and the $35K Sarastro I... | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? Thanks for your thoughtful responses.I have an additional reason for choosing Verity, and that is that I am Canadian and want to support the best of Canadian audio (where possible).The Verity Amadi sounds interesting - how much will it be? Is it r... | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? After much listening, research, thought and discussion, I am able to consider the Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation powered by a Luxman integrated amp (either the 590Aii or the 509u). After hearing the Parsfals I knew that anything else would seem (to... | |
| Pure Class A shootout Luxman makes several pure class A separates as well as integrated amps:http://www.onahighernote.com/luxman/Regards,Mark | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? I thought that the Finn was very good and more musically engaging and acurate than the more expensive B&W 803d that I had been contemplating.Comparing the Finn to the Parsifal is not really fair, because the Parsifal is truly stunning, and at ... | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? I have auditioned two Verity Audio speakers - the Finn and the Parsifal Ovation.The Parsifal blew me away - it is a wonderful speaker!The Rienzi is much closer to my budget, but I cannot audition it.Has anyone compared the Rienzi to the Parsifal?H... | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? They were most definitely the Parsifal Ovations, and the amp was 20 wpc pure class A (I was told that would be equivalent to about 150 wpc in a class AB amp). | |
| Integrated SS amps - Luxman vs. Simaudio Moon? L-550Aii (20 wpc), though the 30 wpc L-590Aii would be a better choice. | |
| Integrated SS amps - Luxman vs. Simaudio Moon? I auditioned the Verity Audio Parsifal Ovations yesterday driven by a pure class A Luxman integrated amp. OMG, this sounded magical! | |
| Top Luxman integrated - 509u or 590Aii? Thank-you.I auditioned Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation speakers yesterday driven by a 20 wpc pure class A Luxman integrated amp. What a wonderfully musically satisfying experience!I am now convinced that the more powerful 30 wpc Luxman 590Aii would ... | |
| Verity Audio midrange drivers? I had a chance to audition the Verity Audio Parsifal Ovation yesterday, driven by a 20 wpc pure class A Luxman integrated amp. OMG!!!! Not only are they not difficult to drive, they are incredibly musical and wonderful sounding speakers that conne... | |
| Top Luxman integrated - 509u or 590Aii? "These posts" do help when you have to consider components sight unseen. "Pulling the trigger" would otherwise be a shot in the dark.Thanks to all for shedding some light on my confusion.Regards,Mark | |
| Luxman L505u . . . why not? The 509u is rated at 120 wpc into 8 Ohms, doubling to 240 wpc into 4 Ohms. It is Luxman's most robust class AB integrated amplifier.The 507u is rated a little less at 110 wpc into 8 Ohms, and it does not quite double (to 200 wpc) into 4 Ohms.The 5... | |
| Top Luxman integrated - 509u or 590Aii? Thank-you.I am considering one of these integrated amps with a very high quality cdp and speakers (Verity Audio) that are relatively easy to drive. The real question should be - is there much of a real world difference sonically between the 509u a... |
