I thoroughly agree with those that state that, especially given your budget, concentrating on the speakers will get you the biggest bang for the buck. With 1000 Euro some awesome possibilities with very accurate monitor speakers open up, and the competent yet mellow sound out of an Accuphase amp may actually complement them well... you never know until you try, but the speaker change may be amazing by itself. many years ago I went down exactly that route - I had a Luxman amp, and was considering upgrading it and the speakers... and in the end only upgraded the speakers, and it made me a very happy person for a long time. I still own that Luxman amp, it performs duty as the garden system amplifier, connected to an SB3 of course. Everybody agrees it is the best sounding garden system they have ever heard. :-D So I have an affinity for the Luxman sound myself, and think that if it is in good condition you may yet get some good mileage out of it. The big caveat is that I am not familiar with your speakers at all. -- pablolie ------------------------------------------------------------------------ pablolie's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3816 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=54656 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list audiophiles@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
