Difference between Luxman L-550A II & L-507u


I was wondering if anyone has heard both of these Luxman integrated amps, and can comment on the sonic differences. I have heard the L-550A II and the bigger 590 and was very impressed. I'm seriously considering getting the 550, but just read about the 507 and am curious. It's not on audition close to me, so wondering if anyone can chime in (and not just a guess about Class A vs. Class AB, but actual experience).

Thanks!

No worries Nolitan. I really think the 505 is great. You should also know that the difference between the 505 and 507 isn't just 10 watts. The 507 has better binding posts (look like WBT in picture, the newer distortion reduction circuit (ODNF 3.0 vs. 2.2, and another set of balanced inputs. Not saying that alone makes it worth the jump, but it is more than just a conservatively rated 10 W jump.
