Have Luxman 509x. Considering Pass Labs INT-250 or Dan D’Agostino Progression Integrated

As a known Luxman fanboy I’m glad to hear of the positive experience with the latest generation, but man, those prices!!

AFAIK I got the last new 507ux in the US and if I told you how inexpensive it was you’d all be mad at me.

Seeing $9k for the 507z and $12k for the 509z... ouch! No wonder Fritz keeps wondering if I’m selling mine. 😂

Best,

About to purchase a 509z. Invoice has been received. Curious to know if anyone has experience with Luxman and PMC. Specifically PMC Twenty5.24i’s. Came down to the Luxman,Pass, McIntosh,Hegel,Aavik and a few others. Thoughts?

Also Coda #8 v1 which is quite a bit less 

I don't know if the op has made a purchase yet but you should also consider the Boulder 866.  I own one and it is in the same league as the mentioned other integrated.

The Luxman L-509 series of class AB amps are very capable, as are their class A siblings - the L-590 and L-595SA integrated amps.

The L-595 is apparently the last class A integrated amp that Luxman made, but Accuphase continues to make class A integrated amps such as the E-800 and class A separates such as the A-48, A-80 and the A-300 class A monoblocks.

If you are considering Luxman or Pass offerings you should also look into Accuphase products.
