(Hegel vs Luxman) vs PS Audio


Can anyone help me. Looking at Possibly moving from my PS Audio ( BHK Monoblocks and Pre) to Luxman C900 and M10 Amps (monoblocks)or to Hegel 30a amps (monoblocks) and Conductor Preamp [latest versions]. What are the differences in sound amongst these house combinations.

At this point I'm going to look into further treatments if they can suit yhe room or digital correction.  The system sounds really good I just one of those who will I guess always be wondering "what if". I just don't want to move for the sake of a hobby.  We have a great home.

@krymer2  I haven't heard your models, but other Focals tend to want to be used with minimal toe-in for best imaging and a wide listening sweet spot.

That room sounds pretty tough. Not sure you could do enough physical room correction. IMO a good digital room correction would be a game changer. I had a Lyngdorf 2170 in my basement. With room correction on it was the only way to get the sound I wanted out of multiple amps. Was the difference between damn why did I spend money on all this crap to ohhh yeah that’s why. When I moved my system upstairs to a more suitable room the difference with room correction on and off was not there so I sold it. 

Here’s a suggestion that will probably get laughed at, but dies actually work. I have quite a lot of gear, high end and low end. If I find myself getting somewhat bored with a certain configuration, I’ll put in one of my Marantz or SANSUI receivers and use that for a month. When I go back to my higher end gear, I appreciate it that much more. 
It sounds like what you have there probably sounds pretty good and you’re just looking to make a switch because you’re bored. It sounds like a pretty costly switch though.

just an out-of-the-box suggestion. Good luck with whatever you decide on.

Go with what @lldd said! I have never heard a PS Audio anything that I thought was competitive in its class. The Luxman is sublime! The Hegel is an neutral as they come and can be a little boring but not as much as the PS Audio! The Luxman has all-day listenability and for the record, I don’t own one. 😉
