I would definitely check out the Luxman L-509X intergrated amp listed on Agon by 'whitecamarowss' for for 8499.00. He has a thread here called "My Long List of Amplifiers and My Personal Review of Each". He reviews this amp on the thread and tons of other amps. It's very refined, detailed, wonderful soundstage, runs cool and would mate well with your front end and speakers. I bought an amp from him a year ago and still am in contact with him. He is good guy and great to deal with. I would contact him and talk about your system and if he thinks the Lux would be a good match.... He's not pushy and will be straight with you....Good luck.
Pre and Amp Suggestions
Given the way these things go, I’m almost afraid to ask this question but here goes: I’m finally at a place where my front-end and speakers are at “destination” level-at least for me....for now. My question is where and what to upgrade between these two extremes. The speakers in question are Revel Studio 2s which I love, and the front-end dac/streamer is the Lumin T1 ruining Roon. The Lumin feeds into an analogue bypass section (no digital conversion) of an Anthem AVM60 going in turn to two 200 watt mono channels of a Sherbourn 7300. In trying to answer my question, I would appreciate keeping to the following parameters:
-no suggestions of other speakers or front end gear, I’m in a good place where I am right now.
-no suggestions of power conditioners, cables etc. Let’s just stick to the gear.
Just looking for pre and amp recommendations (or really good SS integrated amps). The sound right now is quite neutral, but perhaps a little lean but very revealing. I’m not looking to drastically alter the sound or play louder, just looking for more of the “good stuff”, resolution, staging etc. Might consider a tube pre or hybrid but really have no interest in an all tube power amp or massive class A space heater anymore. Ok let the games begin!
