Was finally able to get my 590 today after a UPS faux pas.

I absolutely love it and I still have a couple of hundred hours of break in to ride through. What a beautiful integrated.

I didn’t initially want to believe it, but Wow! It’s awesome.

Congrats! I love mine and I know we are brother from different mother surely we have same taste :)

Paul,

I really appreciate the push. This 590 is seriously good. Definitely brothers from another mother with great taste, not just same.

I’m guilty of asking for advice and not taking it. Mike, Paul and many, many others here - thank you very much for your opinion, knowledge and help. I should have learned to listen a long time ago.

That feels very familiar, I don't know how many times I've felt the same, but somehow it's part of the game that you have to try, learn and finding out yourself by following your heart and emotions. It's a hobby after all and what fun would it be to not have gone through all the steps that eventually brought us here? :)

Congrats to a great purchase! And yes, integrated are here to stay....
 
I can feel myself being drawn into the Luxman vortex. From all accounts it gives the E-650 a real run for the money.

I so badly wanted the E-800. I liked the 650 but wanted something that excelled on my Avantgarde Duos. The 650 was great on all my other speakers but left me a little flat on my Duos. I agonized over the 800 but after weighing all the pros and cons plus actual feedback from Avantgarde owners, it actually was a pretty easy decision.

I know I have a couple of hundred hours to go for break in, but hot damn, right off the bat on my Duos, the Luxman 590 rocks.

This just goes to show me again, the actual combo you are interested in needs to be auditioned. Don’t assume anything based on what you think about the relative strengths and weaknesses of gear. Also, price is largely irrelevant. I’ve discovered many gems at super reasonable prices.
 
Wow, she sure is a beauty on the outside and sonically. Congrats Joe. It was worth the wait and I’m glad you finally listened! I’ve been loving all my Luxman gear for several years now. Got some people looking at me funny when I said the M900 monos were top drawer amps. Now that these amazing amp are out there, I’m seeing the Luxman love! Congrats and enjoy. The 590AXII (measured by HiFi News at 95 watts/channel) is my favorite Luxman piece. Love it. Congrats and enjoy.

Congrats Joe! Should sound grade with the Avantgarde's! Listen in good health!!

Thank you. It’s a wonderful combo. Sometimes we get fooled into thinking well they are very efficient, anything will be fine. But until you hear it, you won’t know.
 
Yes indeed. Luxman was the sleeper. Sometimes our biases take over. No more prejudging anything. :)

Congrats Joe! I am still very happy with my 505UXII and it keeps on surprising me.

Thanks Brian. Seeing you get a Luxman was another reason I got one. Looks like they have a lock on great sound and they seem to know what they are doing. The proof is in the listening.
