Accuphase E470 v. Luxman L509x

I am a long term fan of Japanese gear.
I am considering the Accuphase E470 or the Luxman L509x.
This amp will be running Joseph Audio Perspectives and Salk 12in Subwoofers.
My listening room is 23ft X 22ft with a12ft ceiling.
My musical taste preferences are classic and alternative rock and jazz.
I do not play my music loud.
My current amplifier is a Yamaha S2000.

Any assistance would help, thank you in advance.

I have not heard them, but you give up the nice Loudness dial in the Yamaha.

are you in a position to demo either amp?  These (2) brands are on my radar as well due to the fact that each company makes a matching CD/SACD spinner. 


Happy Listening!

2nd Note;


have you looked into moving up to a Yamaha S3000/3100 ?

I have found Yamaha products that are made in Japan to be of the finest quality at their price-points.


Happy Listening!

@jafant ,   Would be difficult to audition.   In re S3000, I don’t know, only A bit more WPC than the. S2000,   Don’t know if it is worth the upgrade.

Yes higher end Yamaha is high quality .
