New Luxman 507Z

MusicDirect has communicated that the new Luxman 507Z will retail for $8995. The  prior model, the 507uXII was $6495. I appreciate that Covid has driven up the price of goods coming from Asia (cost of containers) and that inflation may have some impact but this is pretty steep.

Does anyone know if there are significant technical or feature improvements to justify a nearly 40% price increase?

In theory it seems like Luxman’s rendition of Hegel’s Sound Engine. Hopefully it’s done correctly.

 

What do you mean by this. Are you implying that Luxman is copying or imitating Hegel.

Oh no.  Luxman has become Accuphase.

 

Champagne gold vs silver

Warm, full, lush vs refined, delicate, detailed

Don't think so.

Any new info out of Axpona about Luxman plans going forward? New 507z integrated and M-10x power amps already announced or released.....anything more concrete on what will happen with the 509X (upgrading in future to 509Z ???) and when? Still true that class A integrateds being shelved?? Just wondering if anyone heard anything new at the show - TIA

I believe that the 509z is definitely in the pipeline.

I believe it was Mike at Suncoast Audio who said that Luxman was getting out of class A because of the environmental impact.
