As my primary listening/home theater space is currently undergoing remodel, everything is upstairs in one room:

A-S1100, Luxman L507uX, Audio Research LS28/VT80/Schiit Freya combo.
Yes, the Luxman L507uX is more resolving than Yammie by a small factor, I notice it especially on string instruments but you really, really have to listen for it. If blinded, I could not tell either side by side. Bass seems equally tight with both, as the the treble extension. Somehow the Yammie does sound more tube like than the Luxman. Not in the Audio Research way, more like Primaluna way.
As to holographic sound staging, both are good until I flip on the LS28/VT80 combo and then it's another story.
