Finally took delivery of my new Tidal Prisma and Impluse and installed the system in my nearly finished new room.
Also added some Taralabs Muse interconnects.

I'm getting the Piano G2s next week and I'm wondering if the Accuphase E5000 or Luxman L-509x integrated amps would suitable with them. There aren't many reviews of the E5000 yet as it's fairly new. The Luxman L-509x has garnered a lot of praise and I wonder if it would be refined enough for the Tidals? It's said to be a bit more neutral than the traditional Luxman sound and not as warm as their class A designs. Has anyone heard either of these amps?

I've got the Accuphase E-5000 on permanent demonstration here, where I've also had the Luxman L-509X here temporarily after a client trade in recently.
Luxman L-509X is certainly on the cooler and more analytical side in comparison (some might call it more neutral). It also controls the drivers and soundstage in a more rigid way. What you might prefer is of course subjective, but I would ultimately recommend Accuphase with Tidal amongst these two options, being richer and fuller sounding with a more dense presentation which fits the highly resolved and fast sounding Tidal speakers better.
You could also look at the integrated options from Ypsilon or Trilogy (both being hybrid designs).
