All-in-one integrated, 10-15K range, class A/B only

I agree he panned the Accuphase and mentioned 12-14k but I don't remember him saying the Luxman 590 was better.  I'll have to rewatch to see if I missed that comment.

He ran both the 590 and the E-800 on the Wilson Sashas. The Luxman had no problem w/the speakers. By the way he bought that Accuphase from someone I know that shops at my local dealer. He had the E-800 for 2 months w/Harbeth 40.2's. He went to the Luxman 900 separates and is quite happy.

So let me get this straight. Because Greg didnt like the E-800 on his 40.2 and Jay didnt like them on his Wilson's....They Suck with everything? Do you have Jay and Greg's ears and taste in music? Do you have their room and associated equipment?? My best advice is dont follow anybody's ears but your own. You can find plenty of people who will give entirely the opposite opinion about that model (or any other) and what conclusion will you draw from that?? Whoever you like better or has a Youtube channel must be right?

@riaa, Those are the only two data points we have in these preliminary stages of narrowing down choices. Perhaps when you get your E-800 you can give us another opinion that will help make or break Greg/WC's consensus. Until then.....
The dealers have been hyping the E-800 so much and I was thinking of buying one to try, and then to hear sobering assessments of it from experienced audiophiles is clearly a shock and raison d'etre for forums like this to exist.

@kren006, yes he does clearly state he likes 590AXII better in one of his posts.

@rdoc Thank you so much for posting your experience and affirming what I have in mind. I know this might be asking a lot but any chance you would be able to post a youtube video of your system playing.
