LUXMAN 505u?

I had Luxman L505u for short period because I was moving from Tube amplifier and the speakers were Totem Model 1, found soft sounding, the bass and vocal were not as good as the tube.Went back to Tube, however the dealer insisted for next model L507 for improvement.

I noticed you posted this on 2nd August 2010 where you mentioned you have the Luxman L-590AXII. I thought the mark 2 of the 590 was introduced to the market in 2015 or 2016?

It was 2016 but that post you quoted did not say L590AXii (missing the X). All of the historic models have similar numbers so can get a bit confusing.

Thanks for the clarification. I was surely confused by the numbers of the older Luxman models. I didn't expect the L-590A II (without the X) to actually exist. I assumed there's only the L-590AX and L-590AXII.

I actually researched the history because I’m really interested in L590AXii but it is overdue to be replaced based on release history, which is:

2005: L590A
2010: L590Aii
2013: L590AX
2016: L590AXii

So in last 20 years the longest between models was 5 years (two most recent revs just 3 years), and we are at that 5 year mark now since release of current model. So kinda torn on what to do....
