Accuphase vs Luxman

@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.

I saw the Reverb ads you mentioned. I like the older Luxman SQ38 SIGNATURE. Definitely a fun component to play around with.  Do you think this unit is noisey?
