Just picked up the L-590axII, in Heaven 🥰
Beautiful sounding system. Thanks for the great audio recording!
Stellar, simply stellar. Thank you Terry. The room acoustics favors the musical reproduction of the system. Great recordings on Vinyl truly shine through when the combination of speakers, phono, amp & pre-amp are placed in just the right acoustical environment.
You take anyone off the street to listen to this system and these recordings, and they will be hooked on quality hi-fi.
Piękna muzyka a ty to jeszcze piękniej napisałeś 👌🤗😊
I am tremendously impressed with the beautiful Epicon series from Dali.
These model 8's are fabulous at showcasing the magnificent fidelity of the Lux sound.
This system is very expensive for an average buyer, but it's worth every last dime for supreme quality. And especially for it's part, Dali should be extremely proud of the Epicon 8.
It is a colossal achievement in a top design.
It's time for Dali to update this speaker.
@@patrickleekinseng8545.... Maybe perhaps a set of powerful 9 inch woofers, and a beefier crossover, otherwise leave that gorgeous design as it is!
-happy listening
@@patrickleekinseng8545 how old is it
Speaker standing on the with no feet.😳 I still think the Epicon 6's look better.
Great-looking system! I really like the vintage look of the Luxman.
I'm listening on my cheap Sony earphone on my PC and the sound is just astounding. Very much impressed with the combo performance of Luxman and Dali.
Love the whole system, but that turntable is just exquisite. Thanks for posting this Terry!
I love Dali and Luxman. Such a glorious, luxurious sound! Excellent video!
i saw these beautifull speakers today at hifi klubben. Can't afford it, but fell in love with them.
Amazing coverage. You did great job.
Can't believe I missed this show and I only live around the corner 😪
There is always next time, it will be a better show this year as well
sounds really great,thats a great combination luxman and dali
What a system 😍😍
Very nice sound! This room is better than the room that the PL 300s were in, which was too echo-y.
Great system, great sound! 😍
I ordered this configuration, with the exception of the Dali Epicon 8 speakers, I have the Dali Epicon 2 speakers. The Dali Epicon 8 speakers are on my whish-list : )
Sounds brilliant wow.
awesome song Chris Jones
Lovely system, thanks for sharing. I am eagerly awaiting the opportunity to purchase the Opticon 6 MK2's next year. May I ask the make of the audio stand in the video?
Do you find Epicons To be Bright and harsh causing fatigue after a while?
If my kidneys were healthy ,I would sell one of them for these speakers.
Watching all this show coverage is playing havoc with my Gear Acquisition Syndrome (incurable, before you ask)... Luxman & Dali seem to be a knockout pairing if the audio from this video is anything to go by! Thanks Terry.
This idea what about giving a category out of 10 for best systems at the shows! That would be good. A breakdown in different aspects what you found nice about a system, not just the sound, and what the sound was like for you how it made you feel. Be more useful and educational to people buying hi-fi
I think John I may take a different approach in the future but yp to this point to get as much on camera as I do I have to go non stop all day and dont really get a chance to absorb the rooms I am in because I am concentrating so much on getting the video and audio as best I can. Maybe next year I will take a different approach we will see what transpires but I did mention what I thought were the standout rooms in the review video
I would find the score would be more for the effort they put into getting the sound good in the room they were in. A lot of systems suffer due to the small rooms they are set up in, so it wouldn't be fair to score the system, as such, in these instances. But it's a good idea to give praise where it's due, in any case.
Great again Terry, if you ever run out of time reviewing the gear, feel free to pass it on to me for evaluation, I promise to send it back....
Great system. Same lame Audiophile approved music.
Terry awsome video quality/sound as always. I would like to see a review of sq n150 tube lux amp.
there is a lot planned for next but I will speak to the guys at Luxman and see if they will hook me up :)
Nice video, please share correct version of the art Tatum's song my one and only love. I don't think it's the original art isn't playing...
Well the Epicons still sound beautiful, despite their outdated early 2000s appearance (in particular the front baffle). Time has come for a succeeding range, it's almost overdue now.
I have the Luxman 505uXII paired with the dali helicon 800s, but I don't play boring jazz pr classical music. Throw some rock or metal on these babies and let's see what it's got!! :) Love luxman/dali pairing though!
Hi Terry,
Had a chance to hear the Epicon playing at Lisbon Audioshow and they rock the hotel. slight diferente presentations has at the time they where being driven by Simaudio Moon gear and mf turntable. Great sound and gear
yeah they are excellent speakers that are big on tonality
as I was watching this all I could think to myself was damn this audio sounds crisp as hell
Do you answer questions? If so, I am inquiring about the tubes inside the Luxman EQ500 phono preamp. How would you know when it's time for them to be replaced? How long do these tubes typically last? Can you do it yourself or do you need to ship it to someone to do it for warranty purposes? Thanks!
Do you remember what cartridge is on the PD151?
Thanks for the video! What's your impression of the PD-151?
Are artists really putting out records? Does vinyl really sound better than CD? SACD?
How does Epicon compare against the competition? I.e. Focal, Monitor Audio, KEF etc.?
Did you by the way make any recording of the new Moonriver 404 amp from Sweden ?
Do you prefer B&A 803 D4 or Epricon 8 ? Thanks
Seems too only lose out by not pressuring the room otherwise a little short and sharp
🤗
What turn table is that?
Can someone explain me how an audio recording will help me, when i listen to it on my headset?
it can give you an idea of how this system sounded in this room with these components used together and the music hopefully makes the video enjoyable to watch - UA-cam videos are supposed to be entertainment as well
Top-end energy is missing in comparison to the rest of the audio band imo. Can't be the fault of the Luxman gear since I had heard them with Audiovector in which case the pairing sounded more evenly balanced to my ears. However, AV can sound unforgiving as can PMC too, so take care with partnering.
If integrated is replaced with luxman 700 pre/power amp, would that improve the sound ?
If turntable is connected to integrated amp phono stage, does that make big difference, these phono stages of luxman, yamaha, accuphase.. are supposed to be good (no tubes though)?
The L 509 is a 700u in a single unit , that's what a dealer told me.
love the Luxman design, except that the display all have different colour, which is a bit annoying ! looks a bit budget class......The sound on the other hand is stellar.
How about L-509X with ATC scm19 ?
sure that combo will sounding stunning as well
You can almost hear the sax(?) player breathing
How could it sounds bad ?!
hey Terry,do you think the mcintosh c275 can drive Dali epicon 6 loudspeakers easily??
I think they could drive them but it will likely be a warm sound
What is the difference between a Dali Epticon 8 and a Dali Epicon 8?
Two very similar speakers by the same manufacturer.
You have Dali Epicon and Opticon 2 different ranges - Epicon is the top Opticon is about the middle
All the speaker components are totally different. The shape of the epicon series, makes I sound so much better, since it balances the airpressure inside the speaker cabinet.
Low freqs muddy. Could be insufficient power.
The Luxman L509X doesnt lack power
ported design, it has some drawbacks.
impossible to tell unless you were there...
not exactly, ported design is flawed that way.
... I don't believe that for a second. Lux have always had very wideband frequency response.
This was a strong 2nd worst room at the show where first place was strongly held by Cambridge Audio (not a surprise). While Luxman L509X is my dream-amp and Dali not so, but unquestionably good speakers, that combo just didn't blend together. Definitely horrible speaker's choice for a room and bad match with otherwise great amp!
My much cheaper speakers sound just as good.
How do you know?
The turntable is a good one, but i dooooont like Dali. They always lose vs most others manufascturers at that price point at any shows.
Stop speaking and eating chips guys.coke latter to burp. After that we all go for kokorec
