Recommendations for speakers with Luxman 509x
Thanks for everyone's comments. Reporting back after living with the Spendor D9.2, Luxman 509x and Lumin T2 combo. I'm very happy. The Spendors showed up last so I have a little perspective on the components. I don't have a ton of hifi experience,... 
Recommendations for speakers with Luxman 509x
Thanks for all the suggestions. Going to try some second hand Spendor d9.2s and see how they do in my room. Figure if they don’t work I can unload them without too big of a hit. Would love to do the home demo thing with a dozen different speakers,...

Recommendations for speakers with Luxman 509x

I’d love it to sit on top, but the TV sits on the cabinet. I think these fans could work though. I could redo the shelves to give myself 2-3” above, then mount one of these slim exhaust fans on the back of the cabinet.https://www.acinfinity.com/co... 
Streamer/DAC+integrated vs All in one?
Thanks for the comments here - they led to loads more research. While the gold note is1000 sounds like an amazing piece of gear and tough to beat for the convenience and price, I’m heading down the path of separates as a better bet long term. Pick...

Tanks guys. This forum is amazing - answers in minutes! If I redesigned the shelves, how much would be enough? 5”? How much heat does that amp really put out? I’ve heard them called ‘space heaters’ but I only have experience with class AB and D am...

Hmm yep I’ve got 2.5” on either side, wide open front and back. I saw that too in the Luxman manual - very specific about leaving an unspecific amount of space around the amp…
