replace Mcintosh with Luxman

I am about to sell my Mcintosh 611s and replace with 2 Luxman c900u.. I live in Alaska, outside of Anchorage, and there is no retail sales of mid to high end gear in this state.  No opportunity to listen to amps before I purchase unless I travel to lower 48.  Anybody have an opinion on going from Mcintosh to Luxman.

Thanks

Awesome!! glad to hear that.. I have the Luxman D03x DAC/CD player.. The DAC on the Luxman is so much more luxurious, exceptional clarity and rich compared to the DAC on the Mcintosh mc53 . I have tried them both with the Lumin streamer that I have and I love the Luxman. That is the reason where I am in awe of the Luxman brand and I started to have the itch on maybe moving from the mc462 to the m10x.. And I am still well within the one year full trade up window with my dealer here. This feedback really helps.. Do you include any subs with your setup? The A3 goes down to 26Hz.. Just curious what did you end up paying for the previous versions of the Luxman Amps.. The 10x is at listed $20K..

The minute I made the switch to the Luxman I heard a boost in bass.  

 

In terms of solid state, I can't argue with you, especially the extension and control in the bass.  Maybe this is why I'm less interested in a sub for music?  While the mid and treble are very liquid and smooth I can also see where a real tube-phile would still stick to tubes.

If I had spare cash I'd probably really like trying the Luxman tube integrateds for a while too.
