Looking for a SS integrated Amplifier recommendation going into a new system
This is a great integrated amp - Luxman L-595A se I ordered one and hope to have it by year end. A little over your budget, but worth it IMO. http://www.luxman.com/product/detail.php?id=38 |
knotscott said what I was thinking to ask: have you ever tried tubes? I would also think about features: remote volume; remote balance; tone controls. depending on your habits, a 'loudness' circuit for boosting bass when listening at low volumes; for future flexibility, you might want pre-in. that could be used for anything with it's own volume control. and, consider future use with a stereo pair of subs. you would want pre-out and main in so both the amp and the main speakers get relieved of low bass production |
Thinking Long, future options, I might make a short list of integrated amps that also had HT Bypass INPUT. You never know ..... Move, get tubes some day, new speakers, ... That would allow this current unit to preform ’front stereo’ work in a Video System, working separately as 2 channel music or together with an AVR that has front pre-out. |
The Luxman 590AXII is a very nice unit and will be able to meet your needs with the speakers you mentioned under most situations. What is the size of your listening room? I own a Luxman 590AXII and like it very much, I have not heard what other Luxman integrated A/B units sound like compared to the 590AXII. |
