What is wrong here.. on Audiogon?
Well, one thread was tongue-in-cheek, and the other (yours) asked for specific information that most of us can't provide. Apples and oranges. Or did you want your request treated with the same lack of seriousness?? If that had happened, at least y...

Everyone has their preferences. Life would be boring otherwise. Let the 'meter talk' sink in a bit. Now imagine building a custom home for a client... 
Amps with meters ...
Don't know about every Luxman amp, but mine can be shut off. The lights, not the meter itself.

.....amps with creamy off-white meters are best of all

Need Help! My Class A Amp Is Running Very Hot
OP, all amps are different, so don't be sidetracked too much by remarks about other products. As some above have recommended, I would first want to find out how hot your amp actually gets. Terms like 'hot', 'burning hot', etc, are all subjective.T... 
LUXMAN L509X VS M700/C700U
My post up above, with the link to the Stereophile test is poorly worded. What I was trying to say is that the factory power specs for all of Luxman’s non-Class A amps reflect their true output, the 509, 507, 505, etc. The factory power specs for ... 
LUXMAN L509X VS M700/C700U
Erik, I don’t think I made an inference. Every class A amp that I’ve looked at has only had the that specified, but has measured much more. Or were you referring to something else? What specifically did you ask about the 590? Thanks 
LUXMAN L509X VS M700/C700U
Half the time that I say I’m done posting, I eat my words. Oh well. Erik, Luxman’s published power specs are confined to the Class A pieces, from what I’ve seen. The 505/07/09 are all A/B, and specified in a straight forward manner. The L-550 and ... 
LUXMAN L509X VS M700/C700U
Erik, I appreciate the effort, but am still unconvinced of your conclusions. The first Luxman link you cite was provided by me, during one of the ever-recurring threads where people continue to talk about the lack of power in the L-590AX. And as I... 
LUXMAN L509X VS M700/C700U
rizwanalimohd, I don't have an issue with erik sharing any of his experiences in the least. My issue is when he says things that he heard or read that don't make any sense, at least to me. I asked him to cite his source(s). However, since you're t... 
LUXMAN L509X VS M700/C700U
Eric, please cite your source on the all of you claims you made two posts up about the Luxman class A's, legality of power ratings, etc, etc. It all sounds like hogwash to me. You seem to have some strong opinions on amps you're never seen or hear... 
LUXMAN L509X VS M700/C700U
You didn’t ask about the L-590. It’s a great amp, but probably bettered somewhat by the separates, I imagine. Mountainsong has owned it, as well, and hopefully will chime in. http://www.audiodrom.net/en/integrated-amplifiers/detail/31-integrated-a...
