Luxman L-590AX


Hello!

Can someone please explain how this AMP sounds? I have never heard it, but some people says this amp has an analog and warm tube sound. Is this correct?
Is this amp great if I play many bad recordings and hard rock music? Many amps are too clinical, harsh, "hifi-correct" to my taste.

If anyone have heard L-590AX compared to f.example McIntosh MA7000 or MA8000, I would be glad to hear the difference in the sound. Is the sound very different?

Thanks!

Hey Rockpanther,
    I had a Luxman L-550 AX for a good while and loved it. I just want to say that the tone controls on the Lux are superbly implemented, as are all of its features. I never bought into the Audiophile ethic that eschews everything but a source selector and a volume control. 
    These do run hot, make sure its got plenty of breathing room.

What about warm-up time? How long does it take before this class a amplifier sounds it’s best?
I'd say it's at it's best after 20 minutes, Peter. It sounds very good to start. I've owned one for about 2 years now.
