Going linear - The Luxman 507ux


No one panic, but I just picked up the last Luxman 507ux in the US. About 110w/ch with power meters. šŸ˜€

Ill compare them directly with my Class Ds at home.Ā

I can live with 3 watts...depends on what Speakers you have. Those 30 Watts are misleading as you will find out if you do your homework.


Jetter...Never used the Pass. Came in a Bulk Deal. Person I got it from (original owner) used it with the Lux 900U and he enjoyed it very much for aboutĀ 4 months and then I got it. I cant see myself ever using it so it will probably just be trade material down the road.

@riaa :

That's why I said it's a lifestyle change. I am very happy with my speakers, and am not swapping them to accommodate 30 W class A. :)

Best,

I prefer to have Multiple setups so that it can accommodate the different styles of music I listen to. Obviously AC/DC and Dan Fogelberg aren't going to sound equally compelling if your limited to one lineup of amps/speakers. You put the "Soft" stuff on a SET type lineup w/High DB speakersĀ and the Harder stuff onĀ Amps with Testosterone and speakers to match. With 1 system you willĀ never realize theĀ full potential of a large % of your catalog (unless you only listen to 1 type of music...and there's nothing wrong with that).
I have 2 Friends using the 590 with Harbeth 40.2 (86DB) and Aerial Acoustics 5T (87DB) with great success. What model speakers are you using that are harder to drive than those??
So glad you asked. The speakers I use are the most exclusive in the world, using components typically found in Gryphon, Wilson and other exotic manufacturers:

Very happy with 120 W/channel and not downgrading, thank you. :)
