I have the L590axII and absolutely love it.Â
A few SS amps I’ve had in the past are Denon 2000, Yamaha a-s2100, tubes- a 300b tube, an EL34 tube, and quite a few others for short stays.Â
The Luxman drives high efficiency GPA 604 speakers without effort with the best overall character I’ve heard in my system. 9 o’clock volume dial is plenty loud and nothing but clean.Â
It also drives my B speakers of Dynaudio monitors just as well. They are not high efficiency and love lots of power. In my medium sized room I never see more than 11 o’clock volume with no sign of clipping or anything other than clean uncompressed sound.
I suspect at these levels I’m still not tapping into A/B territory yet, so I am not able to comment on when the amp is pushed hard. Neither speaker is a difficult load.
Unless your room is quite large with a difficult speaker load the 590 has plenty of oomph for most purposes. If I thought I needed more power, the next level of output I would consider would be an amp in the (quality) 200 watt range. As that’s most likely the only point it would make a meaningful difference. Â
Having said that- I know your 507 is a killer amp- and there’s not much to easily better it
Just my .02$
