Thank you so much @joeinid I posted some additional photos to capture my audio journey of what I had been doing the last several months to the year.. Let me know what you think..  I am so glad my dealer had both Mcintosh and Luxman.. I was so disappointed after having invested so much into Mcintosh and still not getting that sensory satisfaction.. I honestly don't think Mcintosh is the same as in the past.. It just isn't to my taste.. Fortunately my dealer let me swap each one of them with Luxman.. 

@plinko i had the fortune of being able to borrow both 550AXii and 509 from the dealer and compare them side by side at my home. The 550 ax ii was more to my liking.. and I went with the 550.. 

@joeinid I am looking forward to my visit to the dealer on the 595.. I am planning on asking to borrow the 595 for a home trial.. 

Thanks!! I put a photo in the Virtual Systems under rman9's system. Hopefully I did it right.. 

@joeinid I am in the market to check out the Luxman L595 A SE. I have the 550AXII, D03X and The M10X. And I am waiting on the C900U to be delivered. Right now I am driving the M10X with the preout of the 550AXII and it's heavenly. So I am an all in Luxman Fan.. My question is I have a Mcintosh MA352 that I am planning to swap out. Should I go for the 595ASE or the 380X? Any suggestion will be welcome.. My dealer has both. I am driving Magico speakers.. Please let me know..

Thank you @joeinid. You are so right about the 595 being redundant with the C900U/M10X combo.. I am tired of the MA352 and my choices with the dealer is I can swap it out within a year of purchase of anything that is twice as much, and that’s part of the reason I was considering the 595 for swapping it with the MA352 that I paid $6500.. Honestly, I don’t care for the Mcintosh sound, hopefully I don't draw any wrath on that. I swapped the MC462 with the M10X, the C53 with the C900U  with a demo unit while I wait for the one that I ordered, and I can’t be any happier. The M10X is such a beauty and it drives the Magico’s effortlessly.. I don’t use any subs in my 2 channel stereo and I don’t miss it one bit. The reason I went with the 550AXII and the C900U/M10X is to enjoy both the integrated and separate versions of Luxman products.. I adore the brand and I am so glad to have a dealer here in the northwest.. Have you gotten use to the looks of the 595? that holds me back a little, although I will be looking at them in person next weekend at the dealer.. The black underside, is that plastic? thanks for the reply again..

@joeinid I agree with you so much what you said on enjoying the gear in good health. I recently lost my mom and dad and so much of that rings true on the fact life is only once and health is not a given.

And you are spot on with the amp/speaker synergy.. The C53/462/Magico just did not work.. When I brought the 550AXii home, I was stunned by how the Magico’s became alive. and when I brought the M10X, just the shear dynamics, how the lows and highs were so profound, the hush whisper to the loud linger of the cymbals.. It felt like the orchestra is in the room. It’s just phenomenal. I kept thinking I hope I have continued health to enjoy these beautiful machines. So it rings true of what you said. I’ll keep posted on what I do next weekend. I am pretty set on moving the MA352.. Looking at the 595 in person will help..

The Magico/Luxman combo seems like they are made for each other. I had the pleasure of talking to both Peter Mckay at Magico and Jeff Sigmund at Luxman on the phone.. They were both very helpful and very pleasant to talk to..

I don’t doubt for one second how well built the luxman products are.. The bottom I gathered is made of black alumite.. Did you hear a significant difference or improvement in sound with the 595 over the 590AXii? And does the 595 run real hot? The 550AXii runs a little warm.. It's interesting it runs cooler at higher volume levels, wondering if it goes into Class AB at higher volume.. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

@joeinid @plinko brought home the 595ASE demo from the dealer, wow.. just wow!! it is beyond belief.. I am hearing the voice of God. Forgive me if you are not into a higher being.. I am just breathless.. It is a wonderful machine.. It is several notches up above the 550AXii. It's probably going to be a stiff competition for the C900U when I get that. The MA352 is all packed up.. I will be getting my 595ASE this week. I will know the serial number when I get it. They could have given me the serial number, cause they already have it in stock, but I wanted to keep the excitement to when I open it.. 😁

Thank you @joeinid for giving me the nudge.. I love the 595ASE in person.. It is a beauty.. The photo's don't do justice to how beautiful it is.. 

PS: How do I attach a photo?
