Opinions of Luxman L-507ux Integrated


I am considering the purchase of a Luxman L-507ux integrated.  I do realize that there is now a L-507uxII, but I am interested in the older model.  I have searched A'gon, google and You Tube, and while there is a little information out there it hasn't helped much.  I won't have a chance to listen to it prior to a potential purchase.

Most will not have heard of my Avance speakers.  They are 89dB, 6 ohms, so all things being equal this integrated should have power to drive them with ease.

Please provide any information you can on the sonic qualities of this integrated, both the good and any negatives.  It would be great if anyone can compare it to the new L-507uxII version or other brand integrateds that would be in the same general price range used (about $4,000).   Also, if anyone has heard this unit and the Parasound Halo Hint it would be helpful to hear you opinions on how the units compare.

Thanks

Hi jond, my speakers would be the equivalent of the Dana 3, but instead of being a 4 driver 3-way it is a 3 driver 2 1/2 way.  Looks like the same scanspeak drivers.  I have had my speakers a number of years, having purchased them from a Canadian audio store (long story) when they had a dealer there.  Having just taken a look, it appears they have dealers in 10 countries, but no longer in Canada and I believe never in the US.  There is really no contact with Avance here in the US and other than my pair I know of no one with any.  They are nice, but somewhere along the line I caught an article regarding their top of the line speakers and they were very pricey and prohibitive for not being able to audition them first.
