I'm a little late to the party but I did try at length the 550 AXii with the Cornwall. I found it to be very dull and boring compared to the Decware tube amp and some others too. Just kind of grainy and uninvolved I would call it. Overall I was never a fan of the Luxman. It ran really hot to make it worse. In the summer I couldn't hardly stand to use it in my small office. In the winter I didn't need to turn on the heater. I love the looks and idea of the Luxman but overall I'm not a fan. I sold it after about a year or so.

@superelmar I've had a Leben CS300XS with Forte IVs for about a year. I enjoyed the combination enough to want MORE, so I ordered a Leben CS600X and am currently looking for speakers that can build on the immediacy and scale of the Fortes. @bjesien Happy New Year, dude! Did you find the difference between the Fortes and Cornwalls to be diminishing returns subtle or fairly significant? |
