Would Luxman work well with JBL?


I am looking to trade in my PSB Imagine T3s for a more vintage speaker. I miss that exciting sound. I’m thinking about the JBL 4367s. Would a Luxman integrated match well with those JBLs? I’m reading that they can be a little finicky with amps.

Order one of the new Classic JBL speakers from a dealer that has a return policy (like crutchfield), Do NOT get a speaker you can't return.

OP

kota1 is giving you excellent advice.

the issue will be enough power for the speaker model you choose.

do you have an existing Luxman or intend on getting one?

My little Luxman, tubes, 10wpc is as reviewed, has reserve power beyond it’s conservative rating, plenty for my office system.

some classic jbl’s are low sensitivity, i.e. 85db, you would be better off trying for a model with higher sensitivity, some are 90db, needing less power for the same volume output than 85db

Bass, instantaneous spikes of dynamics, more power is needed.

High sensitivity makes it easier to try tubes.
