Rman9, yes the Luxman class A integrateds move into AB beyond their rated class A power. Such is why they can be used with power hungry speakers. Even the non class A amps (509, for example) are class A up to a certain point. The 509 is class A up to 6 watts. I personally prefer AB more often than A. Maybe you should also try a 509?
The Luxman L-595A SE integrated is coming.
Luxman is releasing this fall a 95th anniversary integrated. It's style is from the late 1980's. No meters all buttons. Power wise it seems like the same as the 590AXII. World wide 300 of these integrated's will be built. 100 allocated to the US market. Price about $11,495. You can view it on the new Luxman website.

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