| Integrated amp recommendation for Focal 1038 Hegel or Luxman make good pairing. | |
| Speaker Upgrade ... Please Help Me Used Sopra 2. Light years better than Kanta and in your price range. | |
| Looking for Speaker Input +1 on the “not a Luxman problem” notion. Idiotic statement. Likely not a Sopra problem as the two brands pair nicely IMHO but recognize there is room to move up. Need to hear more about room and music type. | |
| Upgrade Time Luxman or Hegel integrated, the rest on streamer if needed after the fact. | |
| Power cord supplied with Luxman L-509X Integrated Amp I looked into this when I bought my 509x. Spent plenty of time researching, including long calls with Luxman USA. Bottom line is they talked me out of a different cord. Said people have gone backwards at times, and I suspect the grounding refere... | |
| Does port location make a significant difference with regard to speaker placement? @classdstreamer good questions and thanks for the compliment. 1) Sub is not in the 2 channel mix currently - that's a future tweak, moreso when I step up to a nice REL or ??2) Since pic was taken I've added Gaia 1's3) Haven't tried plugging the p... | |
| Does port location make a significant difference with regard to speaker placement? Thanks everyone for the feedback. Let me answer some of the questions posed here: @erik_squires yes I'm going to try the foam port plugs and should have sooner. The reason I didn't is I had a friend of a friend who really knew his stuff come by... | |
| Preamp/Integrated with Loudness button Like others stated, all Luxman, many or all Yamaha have them and they have models for most any budget. It could be my favorite feature on my 509x. | |
| Dynaudio Confidence 30 vs. Focal Sopra 2 OP, I too own 509x and am on similar path....fighting upgrade-itis. I can tell you I demo'd multiple speakers on my 509 before I brought it home, and the Sopra was the runaway winner for me. Paradigm Persona a reasonably close second. Oddly I d... | |
| Are the Paradigm Founder Series really, really good speakers? Thanks @mahler123. Was trying to ensure you didn't listen to the big self powered ones ($4k ea) vs. the smaller ones. My guess is you heard SF Sonetto, similar $$. These are sneaking into my consciousness as an upgrade option, same notion as you... | |
| Are the Paradigm Founder Series really, really good speakers? @mahler123 did you happen to listen to anything else in the same session? Curious if you have any comparisons. Also was that $4K per or for the pair? | |
| Close, but no cigar ... Hegel, Gryphon and Pass I suppose. On the more modern front I wonder if I shouldn't have given more consideration to Anthem STR and NAD M33 since the room correction options are intriguing. I also wouldn't mind an MA12000. For my upstairs syste... | |
| What Integrated Amp do You use Luxman 509x here. Quite happy so far….definitely no frills when it comes to digital and streaming, which I’m growing to like. | |
| WHAT SONG TOUCHES YOUR HEART THE MOST? Another vote for Keep Me In Your Heart - Warren Zevon. Especially when you read up on the circumstances under which he wrote it. | |
