awesome feedback; Thanks 🙏 so much!
The Nova and pre-Nova are gorgeous speakers; for a spell I had Harbeth 40.2 coupled with a Plinius Sa103 and Hegel H590; I tried for some time to get the balance right but they sounded a bit dry and flat to me; I probably should have tried a tube amp or class A of decent pedigree but I kinda gave up on them and moved on; Last year was a crazy year of super high system churn trying and re- trying stuff; it was fun but exhausting at times;
At a friend's house I did hear Super HL5+ on Luxman 509x and PS Audio DSD dac and it was a great match; I do think i'd need more sheer driver area to integrate a bit better in my space though; I've tried subs including twin Rel s812/se , JL as well; always been a mixed bag for me- too much tweaking and fiddling;
One reason why i love Luxman is that they make practical high quality gear for the music lover to help adjust less than ideal recordings - they get it; I've spent way too much time suffering through flat playback- it's amazing what a bit of extremely transparent tone control can do sometimes; With this kind of flexibility I found subs not worth the hassle; Nothing is absolutely perfect but the strengths far outweigh any weaknesses with the Luxman stuff; I would love to hear the 590 axii; Had a Pass XA30.5 and loved that amp/ midrange magic was incredible- super engaging and dimensional;
I think the Nova III might be worth a serious shot;
