Accuphase vs Luxman

The Accuphase A-48S is a musical and highly capable amp that is well matched to your sensitive speakers.  Accuphase really excels in making superb Class A amps.

My Accuphase separates journey started with a C-2450 preamp and A-48 amp.  I upgraded the pre-amp to a C-2900 and was astonished at the improvement in sound quality - less veiled, more detailed, more articulate and very refined and musical.  I can only imagine what more the C-3900 or the soon to be released C-3900S would do.

You may want to keep an eye out for a used C-2900, C-3850 or C-3900.  They would all be an improvement over the very capable C-2300.

I have owned both Luxman and Accuphase integrated amps - and they both make excellent products - though I have a slight bias in favour of Accuphase.  I have no experience with Luxman separate pre-amps or amps, but I love my Luxman D-10x SACD player.

I have pretty sensitive speakers (95+, Audio Note AN-E SPe HE and Pure Audio Project) and they both sound phenomenal with a 300B Audio Note Meishu Tonmeister Silver (around 10 WPC) 

If you don't want to deal with tubes, I had a Pass Labs XA25 and a couple of First Watt amps (17-25 WPC) that are lower power Class A SS and they were also fantastic, particularly the XA25 at 25 WPC into 8 Ohms 

@fire_water,  here is a different perspective for your consideration.

Many in this audio hobby believe the room (acoustic imprint), the speakers, and the source quality to have the greatest impact on resulting sonics and satisfaction.  The order of those three may differ by individual, but none of them include electronics as the biggest influence.

I don't have direct experience with Klipsch models but reviewers are saying the current LaScala is a real improvement over the previous (AL5) version.  Other reviewers and hobbyists consider the Volti models more musically satisfying than their comparable Klipsch models.

So maybe the best scratching for your itch could be to audition the AL6 or similar Volti models?

Toronto416,  I'm also from Toronto. Nice talking to you!

There's a C3800 for sale locally but I heard the C2900 is better.  I can only imagine what the C3900 is like. What about the DC-1000?

Maybe ADD a Luxman Tube Integrated as an optional setup. One that would look good with the Accuphase nearby

btw, my back hurts just looking at that low equipment platform, hurray for remote controls

This Luxman Reissue 12 wpc has 4,8,16 ohm taps, (my speakers are 16 ohm), has 2 Phono Inputs (1 MM, 1 MC), no remote

This newer version, EL34 tubes 30 wpc has 4 or 8 ohm taps, and I think your speakers are 8 ohms, correct? OEM Remote.
