What is your budget and do you already have a very good source to match the amp? Boulder 866 with streamer and DAC is a tremendous value given the level of performance if you need digital source.
Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system
The speaker to pair with is Ascend Acoustics Sierra Tower with RAAL tweeter option that is around 91dB efficient, and the room size is 12x18x8. I mostly listen to classical, jazz, female vocal, and the listening level normally is around 85dB, occasionally go up to 90dB.
I originally was looking for class-A integrated amplifier, but now would like to open the possibility to class-A/B as well to see what will be a good match for this new system I am putting together.
TIA

I got one of the two amps here, a Luxman L509X, and just have it connected earlier tonight. The initial impression is very positive, but there are going to be some additional changes/tweaks I need to do to the setup over the next several days, but I really like what the Luxman is presenting. I am still trying to get the 590AXii here to compare, but it will be a bit of delay until early Jan-2022. |

Interesting comment. May I ask if you went through some of these *before* factoring in room acoustics? My greatest (audiophile) fear is that I flip gear bc I haven't done enough to deal with the room, first.
