@steventoney,
If you like the retro look of the Luxman. Not sure if a tube amp is an option, but you should definitely also consider the Leben CS600 integrated. It's made in Japan and they sound wonderful. I believe the amp designer is an ex Luxman engineer. Detailed, yet it has that tube quality warmth. Pair it up with a pair of Devore or Harbeth, Spendor speakers. I recently listened to a Leben CS600 powering up a Devore O/96 and it was a fantastic combination. You have a lot of choices with your budget. Listen to has many speakers and amps as you can and buy the one that sounds the best to you. Good luck!
