Luxman 507uXi vs. Luxman 507uXii

Has anyone directly compared these two? I have been told by a dealer the uXii is superior in every way. As they are phasing out the uXi can it be found at a better price. I would like to get impressions from others. Would love to hear from folks who may have owned both. Not interested in comparison of one of these with another Luxman product. However, if you have comment about a competitive product ie., another circa 100 WPC integrated that you felt competed well, or didn't with a 507uXi or 507uXii, I would be interested in these impressions as well.

507 doubles down into 4ohms. 505 doesn't.



Good eye! I missed that.

FYI, he has the 505s, which as far as I can tell from reading are different only in the type of transformer they use, and less fancy casework. The power, and even the idling power is identical. 

For $2,500 I'd encourage you to think about it. :)


Best,

Hey @hoopster
Sorry, I was that guy. :) I've been talking to Mike about those for a while and he set aside the last one for me. I just picked it up.

If it helps, he said the opposite. He said the 507ux II was about 95% the same as the original. :)

He does have a few 505

Best,
