Overwhelmed and under experienced...
I compared the Shunyata Delta and Alpha NR cables recently. There was a huge change in the system by switching all of the power cables. Amps, Pre Amp and Line Conditioner and DAC. The system sounded different.In doing an A/B/C shootout of Stock De... 
Upgrade? Luxman M-900u and C-900u from Pass X250.8 - Simaudio Evolution P-8
I have owned the 509x and now own the C900 U, M900 U (pair in Mono Config). I originally paired the 509x with Focal Sopra N. 2 and it was okay. I like to listen on the loud side and I didn't feel that I could really push it and feel the music move... 
Gryphon vs Luxman vs Accuphase

Back to the drawing board
If you can get your hands on the Golden Ear Super Sub XL, I highly recommend giving it a listen. I think that it beats SVS out of the water for Music however the SVS is way better for HT. Just my opinion.

Best way to integrate a subwoofer into Luxman Preamp + L-509X Integrated system?
I had a similar issue. I had the 509x and upgraded to the C-900u m-900u combo. What I did was to use my "B" speakers on the 509x and ran it to the back of my left and right SVS SB-4000 subs. That way your speakers and subs will act as one unit. Wi... 
First World Problem in need of Solution
I do not have room correction at this time despite several people telling me to download Dirac. My concern is that if I put a Yamaha, Onkyo, Marantz HT Integrated to power center and rears the sound produced by it will sound different than the the... 
First World Problem in need of Solution
So the rabbit hole continues to grow:Based on others opinions I was looking at the Parasound equipment and they have a 3 channel amp as well as a 7.1 preamp. However it does not have ARC or HDMI. Here is a link to the back of the unit. http://www....

Thanks guys. That was my feeling the best option was however finding the "right" match without going through 12 AV All in one is now the key. I love my Luxman gear and do not want to part with it however I do not have the room to have multiple sys...
