Integrated SS amps - Luxman vs. Simaudio Moon?

Mark,
You CAN hear the Luxman together with the Verity speakers in Toronto - go visit John at My Kind of Music...he carries both.
I believe that he currently has a pair of finns, as well as the Parsifals. And for Luxman, I am not sure which one he has in the showroom right now, possibly the 550...
Worth going to his shop though - he is an excellent dealer and an all around nice guy.

Thanks, that is where I heard the Finns with the Luxman 550Aii.

This audition got me thinking about the Rienzi with a 590Aii, which I cannot audition in Toronto, but should be a good match.

Regards,

I'm going to reiterate my above post that given your room size, the Rienzi's may sound too small. The new Leonore is probably more appropriate. Just my feeling, and could be wrong.

I have spoken to the local Verity Audio dealer and corresponded with Verity Audio, and they have assured me that the Finn, Rienzi, and Leonore would all be appropriate for my room size. The designer of the Rienzi has assured me that it is a good match for my size of listening room.

I can audition the Finn and Parsifal locally, but the Rienzi best fits my budget, and it should fit somewhere between these two speakers sonically.

Regards,

Mark

May I suggest Musical Fidelity integrated amp. Your taste of music is similar to mine and I can tell you the reproduction of classical music, jazz and especially solo piano is so realistic and it is incredible. You should look into kw550 or the kw500 or the older m3.
