The Luxman L-595A SE integrated is coming.

Luxman 595A SE in the house. Finally. Needs break in but sounds great so far.

Thank you so much.

Thank you. I’ll have to try and find out what the actual differences are between the 590 and 595. 
I know it has some parts upgrades and I think better volume control. I don’t miss the meters because I’d turn the lights off anyway. 
It’s definitely a keeper. After being on and playing all night, it’s opened up, relaxed and blossomed. Smooth and sweet like a wonderful Luxman amp. It’s awesome.

The 595A is now a different animal. It's absolutely amazing. Big 3D, open and sweet with absolutely wonderful vocals. Sooooo much better than when first fired up and absolutely stunning now. It's only going to get better.

I've owned the 590AXII and loved it. This 595A SE has now surpassed my memory of the 590AXII which was/is superb in its own right.

Unfortunately I'm not into vinyl yet. I have some records but no TT.

I had heard some early rumblings of a new anniversary model plus I wanted to help fund the purchase of another amp for my now sold Avantgarde Duo.
I had originally heard about the anniversary integrated being a Japan only model and never expected any coming to North America. When the news arrived of the 595a coming here, I was extremely happy. I quickly paid and patiently waited.

I absolutely loved my 590 and if the 595a wasn’t going to happen, I was prepared to buy another 590AXII. I have more conventional speakers now and love Luxman gear.

I personally don’t miss the meters and love not only the sound but the simplicity of the front controls.

I’ve owned the Naim Supernait 2 and HiCap and always wanted to move up the line. I could never get it together but maybe someday.

@ryder 

Thank you very much.

I agree with your Naim assessment vs Luxman. 
Speaker matching is important too. Naim can be a little tweaky but rewards the user with great sound for those dedicated to maximize their systems.

I’m loving the Luxman but eventually might setup a second system.

@bobheinatz 

Thank you very much. I’ve been though a lot of gear (and I mean a lot). 
I’m at the point now where I’ve sold almost everything else. This 595a is my new reference and does everything that I want/need while giving me the sound that I crave. Luxman gear in general is superb. 
I’ve given up 100+ pound gear in favor of gear that I can still comfortably handle. 
Thank you Luxman for continued improvements and wonderful voicing of your products. 
I’m very happy.

I’ve owned my 595a for about 2 weeks. It is absolutely awesome. It does feel/sound a little bit bolder yet sweeter and more natural than the previous 590 that I had.

it took a few days to settle down but has opened up beautifully and sounds great. 
I realize that it’s a limited piece and not many will get to experience the 595a. If you are at all on the fence, don’t hesitate. Actual power is probably 2-3X rated so it’s more versatile than expected.

I am so sorry for the late reply. I can't believe how the time flies.

I do use the loudness button. That's one feature about Luxman that I love. If you listen at low volumes, put the loudness on and hear the bottom fill in and thicken up a little. Works great.

Thank you so much for the link. It’s an absolutely awesome integrated.

Definitely. It’s made me get off the merry go round of gear.

I’d love it if Luxman made an anniversary 509. That would be awesome.

Congratulations on having great taste. If you can get the 595 A SE, go for it. The LX-380 is awesome, I’m sure, but I don’t think nearly as powerful enough for Magico speakers. While the 590/595 integrateds are only rated at 30wpc, their power output is closer to 3X rated output. 
 

With the C900u/M10x combo, having the 595 might be a little redundant but will be stellar in its own right. With efficient speakers, the tube based LX-380 will be absolutely beautiful and musical but you’ll need easy to drive speakers.

I absolutely love the looks of the 595. Whether it’s Luxman or McIntosh, I usually turn off the meters for the majority of my listening. McIntosh gear is great but Luxman is typically my preferred sound especially since McIntosh changed the sound of the newer gear. Luxman is a perfect match with Magico.

Remember, it’s all about balance. The speaker and amp synergy is critical. Whoever thinks all amps sound the same is wrong.

Luxman, especially the new/current gear is absolutely superb. You are lucky to have such a varied selection of gear. Enjoy the music in great health. Move the MA352 and don’t look back.

 

Hmmm, I think the bottom black piece is metal. It’s solid and the whole unit is especially well made.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads here.

 

@rman9 I am so sorry for your loss. All the reason more to enjoy what you have now.

The 590/595 run pretty warm almost hot. They are class A of course. It’s not horrible but you know they are cooking after a while.

McIntosh works with a lot of speakers but Magico is not one of them, in my opinion.

Magico and Luxman, especially monos, seems to be a natural combo like Wilson and D’agostino.

The 595 is a little more energetic and lively with better bass control with a little more bass and articulation. The 590 is a little more typical class A being warmer, sweeter and a little more forgiving. In my opinion the 595 strikes a better balance and is more M10x sounding. It’s a wonderful piece and each shines on different speakers.

@rman9 Please keep the updates coming. Most importantly, have fun!

Congratulations!

 

So happy for you. Luxman is awesome and I just call it like I hear it. I love the look too. Understated elegance. :)

 

As for photo attachment, I think you need a hosting service and then add the link here. Hopefully someone can explain it.

Wow 

 

Beautiful system. Must sound awesome.
