What speakers are you using with Luxman class A?


I am using a Luxman 550 A II 20 watts class A with harbeth C7es3 with excellent results, even with a pair of Silverline Minuets supreme plus sounds wonderful, AZ hologram II and satori jumpers on the minuets make it more tube like.
I also used system audio SA2K with excellent results, I heard some people are using audio physics, I would like to hear about your experience with this fabulous luxman gear and speakers/cables synergy.

I have been listening to much more expensive gear in the past and I always go back to Luxman class A, I guess I follow my ears no the $.

Regards to you all.

I’m driving GPA Altec 604 with a 590axII with good results. 
 

The speakers need help on the bottom end so subs are driven off the Luxman pre outs. 
 

Needless to say there is more than enough power from the Luxman. 

Ha, the reason I had gone through the work of researching and compiling that list a couple years ago was to try to forecast when the AXii might be updated, as I was interested but didn’t want to buy right before an updated model was released. When the 595ASE was announced, I was hoping they’d eventually turn it into a 590something, but sounds like Lux is getting out of the class A integrated biz, if reports are accurate, which is too bad imo.

harbeths and top tier solid state like luxman hegel pass ayre classe etc etc have been well known well owned well enjoyed combinations for a long time, to the present...

That 2013 comment probably referred to the model that preceded the AX. This is an old thread and that amp has been through a lot of revisions!

590A 2005

590Aii 2010

590 AX 2013

590Axii 2016

Too bad it won't be re-upped....

The 590AXII drove my Wilson Watt/Puppy 8's extremely well. Don't get confused with the power rating, it's MUCH more powerful than you would think.

I have used my 590 AII with Harbeth SHL5’s

 

Is it 590AX or 590AXII? I thought the AXII was introduced to the market in 2015 or 2016?

 

I have the 590AXII. My dealer told me the AXII is noticeably better in sound quality than the AX.

I am using tannoy legacy ardens with my 550 ax2.... Superb

Nice full sound with 15" driver 


the Luxman integrated amps are amoung the best on the market, the pure class A models are my favorite and generally sound terrific no matter what the speakers are.

I have used my 590 AII with Harbeth SHL5's and currently use them with Clearwave Loudspeaker Design Symphonia 72R's. The amp pairs well with both.
I love Luxman. I have heard several speakers sound amazing with them, including Harbeth 40.1 and DeVore Gibbons.
