...Can anyone familiar with these amps compare them? I'm not sure if the Luxman 509x is closer to the INT 60 or INT 250? But I would like to hear your opinions on how these amps compare. Thank you!
What speakers?
Thanks, Mike! Appreciate the advice. I'm finding it's pretty hard to beat the Luxman/Harbeth combination.
Luxman 509x = sweet and toe tapping musical.
Pass INT-60 = warmer, richer. Engaging as well.
Really depends on speakers. For Harbeth? Luxman.
Fully agree. I have had both side by side with my Magicos. The Luxman has less of a colored sound than the Pass Int-60 and I would rank it a notch above overall.
I would guess the Diablo 120 would be a better comparison for the Luxman 509x as they're much more similar in price vs the Diablo 300. However, from what I've read the 509x swings above it's weight, so maybe it's competitive with the Diablo 300, I don't know? I'm leaning toward the Luxman 509x as it's reportedly a great match up with the Harbeth Super HL 5+ Anniversary speakers I ordered. They're being made as we speak. But I would not necessarily rule the Diablo 120 out. I know Mike highly recommends the Luxman/Harbeth pairing...right Mike?
