I can’t imagine anyone ever being disappointed with Luxman. I’d take that over any of the options listed. Harbeths and Luxman could easily be a lifetime system.

its smaller room but open to rest of house sometimes i find these choices confusing as the amps i short listed are all highly reviewed and yet we can see all these opinions adamantly against im certainly prepared to pause the purchase and revisit based on the feedback here someone also recommended a benchmark ahb2 with asscociated preamp as an alternative to an integrated at some point i would like to work my way up to a more end game type amp but lacking those funds at the moment,
as an aside, I have a friend with an no brainer end game amp (for me) which is an german beast AVM Ovation A6.2, he will sell to me once I have funds and he will upgrade to their monos this thing has build quality that to my eye exceeds all the entry level accuphases and luxmans ive seen

@audiocanada Please don't be overly concerned what grade any publication gives an audio component. If your in Ontario/Toronto area you have access to many brands/demos you need to hear/see for yourself. To answer your question the Rega Aethos would be my choice of the 4 amps mentioned. If concerned about transformer hum find out by contacting a dealer if this claim is valid. |
