    Has anyone compared the Luxman 595 and the 590 AXII?

    ya, that makes it even more difficult also. I was hoping there might of been Luxman class A fans that had tried or had both at one point.

    Has anyone compared the Luxman 595 and the 590 AXII?

    Has anyone heard both the Luxman 595 and the Luxman 590 AXII? I own the 595 and I like it. I heard the 590 AXII once in a store and I liked it also. However, I feel like I liked the 590 AXII more as I remembered it more open sounding/less stuffy. Maybe, though, it was just me remembering it...

    McIntosh 12000 - Thinking about buying a used one

    I am thinking about buying a used Mcintosh 12000 for 11,500.00. The original owner bought it at Best Buy, and the second owner (who I would be buying from) is now selling it. How reliable are the McIntosh amps as they age? Is there any risk it could get a short or something go wrong? Since...

    Attention all Luxman 595 owners - What volume percentage does it switch from class a to class ab?

    Cornwall 4 speakers - 6 feet apart to far?

    I am trying to plan ahead for ordering Cornwall 4 speakers. Would setting them 6 feet apart be to much? I think I would be listening to them about 10 feet away (my couch). Also, since these are directional speakers... assuming the couch (normal 3 person size) is in the middle of the speakers...

    Why does my Yamaha sound better than the Luxman 595?

    Hello, I have the Luxman 595 class A amp. I also have the Yamaha r-n2000a used as a preamp to the Yamaha AS-3200. Ether system will use the same Sonus Faber Lumina II speakers. These speakers could be considered on the bright side. I don't know why, but the Yamaha setup(preamp and amp) sounds...

    Luxman 590AXII With Wilson Speakers - which one made the vocals forward?

    When I was at the Hifi shop, I heard the Luxman 590AXII on the Wilson Audio SabrinaX speakers. I loved how forward the vocals were. At first I thought it was the amp that made the vocals so forward. But now I wonder if it was the speakers instead? Anyone familiar with these 2 to know?
