Re: Luxman incoming....
I think the 509x would be better....newer design, headroom, and much cooler temp wise and nicer looks......just a guess and an opinion though.
On the plus side the 590 is all class A although only 30 watts.Larry

Re: Luxman incoming....
Is Luxmans website wrong? The 509x is at 120watts at 8 ohms same as Diablo 120
The L-590AX MK II draws upon Luxman's decades of experience in amplifier design to deliver an exquisite combination of rich sonic expression, fine detail, wide bandwidth and dynamic gusto. Stereo output is rated at 30W per channel into 8Ω and 60W per channel into 4Ω.

Re: Luxman incoming....
Quite a bit underrated! Who would expect this from a 30w Class A amp! http://www.luxman.com/files/HFN_Luxm...XII_lowres.pdf
"I got a real surprise when firing-up Luxman’s L-590AXII on the test bench because, unlike the on-line ‘reviews’ that proclaim this amplifier ‘outputs 30W/8ohm and 60W/4ohm’ (a fact dotingly reprinted from Luxman’s press release and user manual), HFN can reveal the figures are actually 2x95W and 2x165W into 8/4ohm. Quite a difference, as I’m sure you’ll agree! Perhaps Luxman means that the first 30W are delivered in Class A (power consumption at 2x30W/8ohm output is 265W)? Either way, the dynamic output of the balanced power amp section suggests very little additional headroom at 97W and 180W into 8/4ohm with electronic protection activating at 303W and 170W into 2/1ohm loads, respectively [see Graph 1, below]. Still, the maximum 13A current capability (at <1% THD) is muscular enough for a 30-watter."

Here is a quick video of the Luxman L-590AX Mark II 24hrs into the break in. Loving the faster Vu meters. https://youtu.be/uo6ODDP1fJk

Re: Luxman incoming....
It's a work in progress obviously since the room has zero treatment and is 26x31 so the front wall needs to be tamed a bit.
