590axii in the house

590axii in the house
Did you compare the 590 to any other amps before you purchased? What is the 590 replacing? I’m getting out of HT, so multi channel Marantz and Paradigms. There is a serious shortage of audio shops in my area, and even a worse supply of electronics...

Have not heard it. Thinking of taking a road trip what country? 
Which speakers did you find bright, fatiguing or just disappointing in some way?
It is not the speakers that lack bass it is probably the room acoustic while you may be correct, I cannot spend 19K on speakers that don’t sound right during an audition, and then HOPE I can make them sound better in my home.It’s possible I’m exp...

Last Audition - Blown Away By A Lottery System
@barts I'm on my 2nd GL1800 (with Aluma trailer) and have been waiting for Honda to make the needed changes to the top case and passenger backrest - they finally did that for '21.  The '06 sits besides my '18 Aprilia Tuono and '18 Tiger 1200.

I'm a confused kid in a candy store - so many options it's overwhelming.I'm (mentally) prepared to do room treatments.  My previous 5.1 equipment was just turned up and I ignorantly dealt with the noise.I'm 55 with a bunch of hobbies, so I'm makin... 
Last Audition - Blown Away By A Lottery System
Let’s get you started, do you currently own a system that you can build on or are you starting from ground zero? As posted elsewhere, I just sold my entire 5.1 system (10 yo) with Marantz separates.  Those previous purchases were not done with ...
