Luxman 590AX II Break-In

I can listen for hours without fatigue or losing interest.

That is all that matters.

Well, one thing for sure. I'm really glad we found the culprit and the impedance curve.  I was starting to wonder if my speakers were actually severely underpowered.  The difference in mine and the OP's makes me feel a lot less like goiing out to spend $20k on a new amp. 😂

why is this surprisingref ones are too small for that space you need a subwoofer

EQUIPMENT UPDATE

I want to update the members who were interested in what I chose for equipment. I have traded in the Luxman for a pair of McIntosh MC 611 monoblocks and a C2700 tube preamp. During my day of extensive auditioning, I found the McIntosh sound best to my liking. I love tubes and their warmth; the McIntosh sound was the closest to an all-tube system, with the benefit of having a portable "nuclear powerplant" driving the speakers. 

I immensely enjoyed the Luxman M10X, which was slightly less warm but more analytical (in a very good way) than the Mac. The Gryphon Diablo 300 was also a stunner! But after careful reflection, my heart kept coming back to the McIntosh sound. To my ears, warmth outweighs a more analytical presentation. I will give an update as to the performance in my room when I receive the components. It should take at least eight weeks for delivery. Now I must jump down the "rabbit hole" in selecting power cords for the monoblocks! 

I like to thank all for their help in trying to figure out my bass issues. BTW, I plan on hitting the MegaMillions on Tuesday night and will add the Luxman and Gryphon to my stable! 😉

You’re shooting a fly with a bazooka. But, congratulations on your upgrade!
