Accuphase e800 or luxman m900u for sonus faber olympica nova 3

HSHIFI,
What do you mean Jay didnt buy any of the Luxman product? He certainly did. He purchased it from Suncoast Audio in Florida. I still have a Brand New in the Box Luxman 900 Amp that I got from Jay...he had purchased this amp at least 3-4 times before From Mike at Suncoast.  Dont talk about things you dont know about.  As far as Ayre products go....I had a VXR Twenty amp and the TOTL Pre-amp KXR-Twenty.  Know the worst thing about Ayre gear....trying to re-sell it especially after Charles died. NOBODY wants it anymore. You Buy it be prepared to be stuck with it...so you better love it.  I had to trade my KXR-Twenty to Jay just to get rid of it!!!

Hello riaa,
What I was saying is he did not keep the Luxman gear. If he did what you wrote and bought it four times, that is literally the definition of insanity. Seriously, look it up.  Also, He was using the top of the line products from Ayre. Actually, he was running the $30k Ayre KX-R preamp connected to the Luxman amp. They just didn’t blend together. It happens a lot. Also, when you own a Porsche, you don’t put cheap Chinese tires on it. Just like you don’t put $30k speaker cables on a $2k surround receiver. What person spends serious money on a stereo VX-R amp when everyone knows you should go mono blocks. They don’t even sell the VX-R anymore. So you were selling something that no one wanted to buy in the first place. Every company has tried to sell a product that the public did not want. Most people know this. Very poor money management. These are the top of the line Ayre (R) series. As we all know the laws of diminishing returns. This is why I am suggesting the (5) series. One third of the price but 90% of the sound. 

No...What you said is that he didnt purchase the Luxman gear which is an outright lie.
Jay Keeps nothing so that aspect is futile to bring up.
Who said anyone spent Serious Money on the VXR Amp? Stop putting words in people's mouths and twisting the actual facts. I bought the VXR and KXR- Twenty Pre Amp for less than 20K combined from Paragon Sound in Michigan.   I never sold the VXR....I traded it in towards ARC 160M and got more credit for it than what I paid originally. Trying to sell either piece was futile.
Poor money management? Yep thats me!! Retired in 2009 thanks to my horrific job at trading stocks at the ripe old age of 45. You WISH you made as many "poor money management" blunders as me.
Any AYRE Dealer if being truthful will tell you they hardly sell any of their product. Its not a popular brand at all. Some will tell you they get ZERO phone calls for an entire year concerning that Brand. Certainly not bashing the quality of the product but like many other high quality brands it just isnt in vogue and never will be.
Looking forward to more of your backtracking and lies.

My electrocompainet equipment sounds good, it has warmth and detail but I would like a little more brightness and transparency without it sounding analytical.
I tried various amps before taking the plunge, the ones they had in store were the moon 340, cambridge audio edge, musical fidelity nuvista 800, all of which I tested at home.
The moon was very detailed, although it lacked power and it felt a bit garish when turning up the volume.
The musical fidelity nuvista 800 sounded warm, mellow on top, but less bass control than electrocompainet.
They told me about trying the krell 300i but it didn't make it to the store on time.
The Sonus, far from looking like a small speaker, can give a great sound greater than its size, but they need a lot of amplification and quality current.
The electrocompainet was another level, previous and very superior stage of course,
He moves them very easily and has a thrust, but I think I was used to a little more transparency at the top, although it sounds very good, it is worth not trying a previous moon team and stage to compare, but at that time they did not have it.
I am happy with the sonus faber nova 3, their sound is also a bit warm and romantic, with a lot of resolution and more dynamic than the previous series, much more of everything, it is a good speaker in that price range.
If there is not a noticeable difference in the sound I would not make the change, although the exdemo price of the c900u preamp is very tempting and I would stick with the electrocompainet stage for the moment or as I said I am going for the accuphase e800 or the 2450 preamp and p4500 stage
but as long as it is to improve.

Thanks
Greetings to all

Hello,
Thanks riaa,
How do you know what my portfolio is worth. I too was able to retire at 45 but was asked by my best friend who owns a trucking company to help him run it. Just because I work does not mean I have too. You are so wrong to assume I don’t have money. I have stated some of the cars I have owned when vehicles are brought up I the thread. You are a very rude person for replying like this and you should be banned. Until that happens I will try to avoid your insanity which you should still look up.
