replace Mcintosh with Luxman

Outstanding move to Luxman you`ll never look back. MC is very dark and veil the only thing I like about MAC is a vintage MAC tuner which I have MR73 I like a dark tuner.   I started out with MAC 1981 C28 preamp 2105 Power amp truely sucked sold it bought something that was much cheaper that just blew it away in SQ Dynaco Pat 5 preamp Dynaco 400 power amp saved over 2,000  Mc`s only a dinosaur name.  Enjoy you LUX.

May I ask where did you get this rumor from? 
 
The M10x is shown on the Luxman site (Japan) and my local dealer told me it will be in the US in October. 

I am a tube fanatic, so I like my Luxman CL1000 preamplifier better than the Luxman C900u's I tried out awhile ago. For my taste, Luxman products are wonderful, unless you want the McIntosh "house sound", whatever that is...

Reading the enthusiasm here, I’ll add to the endorsement of the Luxman over Mcintosh. My single experience with the Mcintosh back in the day was with the MC275 mk4. At first it’s a nice, warm tubey sound, rather pleasant but that’s about it. After trying different gear throughout the years, I realized that the Mcintosh I had was quite colored in its presentation. Perhaps it’s a tube amp or it’s just this particular model, I’m not sure. The sound lacked clarity and detail as the finer nuance in music was somewhat missing and not reproduced by the speakers.

I currently own a mid level Naim pre/power and Luxman L-590AXII integrated, and the Luxman actually outshines the Naim in most aspects of the sound reproduction. The tonality and refinement of the Luxman are very good although it’s just an integrated amp. It’s truly quality. In general, I find the Luxman to have very low coloration as it doesn’t add or take away much from the music or original recording. The finer nuance and detail in the music are all beautifully reproduced by the Luxman. With other amps, you don’t hear much of the refinement.

I don’t have experience with the larger Luxman separates but if this is the quality I’m getting from the integrated, I’m convinced the pre/power will send you to heaven. That’s a bit of an exaggeration there but you can guess I am very pleased with the performance of the Luxman in my system. It’s the first amp that got me off the merry go round of upgrades after all these years.

I did just the opposite. Went from Luxman solid state to McIntosh tubes. way more pleasing to my ears.
I still keep the 505 UxII in the rack for the times when the 2500 pre may go down.
