....where it received the Reviewer's Choice award: SoundStage! Hi-Fi | SoundStageHiFi.com - Luxman L-550AX Integrated Amplifier
Only puts out 20wpc into 8ohms (and 40wpc into 4ohms) but fully biased in Class A. I can imagine this thing with speakers with 93dB+ sensitivity would be killer. The review leaves a lot to be desired in terms of its thoroughness. Sonic description is ok, although he does attempt to compare it to a few other integrateds, including Devialet 120, Hegel H300 - his reference -, and Octave V110, so he gets a few points there. But overall the description of the sonics could have been much more developed/expanded. Also he did not test out the on-board MM/MC phono stage nor the headphone outputs.
I can see this baby with a nice set of efficient high-quality speakers and calling it a day.
