Accuphase vs Luxman

I spent the afternoon listening to a couple of my new Jazz favorites like Bobo Stensen, Par-Ola Landin and several of my  Acoustic Guitar favorites like  Kim Aspen, Alexander Valentine, Emilio Bonito, Tommy Berre, Chris Haugen and Allan Taylor just to name a few and I can honestly tell you that Accuphase really shines hitting all the notes,  nuances,  micro/macro dynamics,  soundstage,  imaging,  PRaT it's all there.  This is the system I fell in love with and continued to build - trading in my Accuphase integrated E-800S for an Accuphase A-48S + Accuphase C2300 and then adding the Accuphase DC-37 Processor/DAC. But because like anyone else here,  I love hifi and am always curious about other products and learning about other people's experiences.  I should really focus on room treatment veggie considering more of something which I already have and which is already satisfying. Keeping everything I have but adding a 2nd preamplifier for a different presentation is a good idea.  Thanks for all the feedback!

If you ever go down the road of pairing your La scala with a low power tube amp, I give a +1 to Glennewdick for triode labs . I am pairing a Triode Lab 45 with my efficient horns from Joseph Crowe and love the sound.

I have auditioned both, Luxman and Accuphase. Luxman is nice but lacks the warmth Accuphase possess in spades. I was immediately drawn to Accuphase’s refined and luxurious midrange. To my ears, Accuphase is very polished in its presentation, more “musical” in a romantic classic sense. SET like harmonics without the hassle of tubes. 

Luxman offers comparable build and pedigree, with sound leaning towards balanced, slightly more energetic or punchy in some cases. 

A-48S + C-2300 is a dream pairing. The refinement of Class A in the power stage married to the musical elegance of the pre makes for one of those “buy it and stop thinking about gear” setups, IMHO. 

lalitk you have a beautiful room and your system is all around gorgeous!

Thanks for your input!

With the models I have heard, In find Accuphase  much more pleasing to my ears than Luxman.   Just my opinion..
