I get the recommendation on speakers first, however, I could not get that to align. I literally have two shops to visit in my state, and after the visit to the first, I'm down to one shop. That one shop had one speaker that I'd consider.
IRT to the amp, there was one Luxman in my state, and it was a new 509 that I wasn't considering.
So the decision was made to buy the amp used at a savings, because it was also the only Luxman 590axii for sale in the entire United States.
I'm flying Friday out of state to audition speakers, because I have no other choice. This has been anything but an enjoyable experience, well, not true. The 590 playing thru some older speakers is satisfying, and especially knowing it will improve with better speakers.
