I have a friend who sells the Luxman gear and loves it for the right situation (just like anything, it has to be matched properly). I still own an old Luxman tuner (70's). I enjoyed the separates when in Japan years ago.
Paradigm Persona series
I'm beginning to poke around and gather opinions and information about a "super speaker" to replace my aging Thiel 2.4s. I like the idea of bass dsp room correction and I am a bit of a point source type imaging nut (thus the Thiels). So among other choices I've been looking at the Paradigm Persona series specifically the powered 9H with room correction for the bass. However I'm skeptical of the "lenses" i.e. pierced metal covers on the midrange and tweeter specifically because of Paradigm's claim that such screens "screen out" "out of phase" musical information. The technology in the design seems superlative but I just can't get past the claim re out of phase information and the midrange and tweeter covers. What could possibly be the science behind this claim? It just seems like its putting a halloween moustache on the mona lisa given the fact that the company is generally a technology driven company.

@brrgrr I have owned the Luxman L-590AX Class A integrated (not MK II). It is a wonderful, full featured integrated. I went on a huge trek to see what I could find to better that integrated. I tried Esoteric F05, Accuphase E-470, Accuphase E-600, Ayre AX-5 Twenty, Gryphon Diablo 300 and came back to Luxman-509X. If you can arrange for an in-home demo, I am sure you will be amazed! |

oddiofyl "Boycott Audio Doctor for using these threads to sell goods and services" Alleged abuses of Audiogon policy should be brought to the attention of the group's moderators who in their sole, solitary, and final judgement shall assess, decide, and determine whether such allegations have truth, merit, or validity and will then establish the appropriate official response based upon they're investigation, review, and inquiry and it is improper, inappropriate, and unwarranted for individual users, posters, or members of the group to call for action outside of a formal inquiry and in this instance the accusation, charge, and complaint against Audio Doctor is in my opinion unwarranted, without basis and unjust. |
