builder3, did you buy your Luxman from mountainsong? If so, that was originally my amp!!
Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening
I'm reeducating myself.... after years of no TT and focusing on just stereo listening.. I had a some early Klipsch Hersey’s and some GENESIS speakers pair with Yamaha receiver and low end turntable 30-40 years ago -- I can afford a higher end setup this days -- so what are thoughts on pairing a luxman l-550axII with Klipsch cornwalls?
I like the Herseys for music in the day.. cornwalls seem to be larger herseys but may well need audtion some of the tower types folks seem to tout..
I still thinking on TT -- but may get a VPI scout or prime -- thinking through the cartridge choices and other things is still a serious education -- recc?
music taster are varied -- jazz to singer vocalist miles davis - linda Ronstadt and a host of others for vocal musics and instruments- soft rock of the 70-80s- to some classical
thoughts -- looking to 15-20K for the refit for stereo listening - but could stretch some if I like the setup

I dug this up, steventoney. http://www.navratilaudio.cz/novinky/Luxman_L590AXII_HFW.pdf There are actually three 590's currently listed, which is very unusual. Two of them are the L-590A MkII's which are two versions back from the current model, and one is the L 590AX, (which I own), which was superceded by the L 590AXII about 1½ years ago. |
Greginnh, I did, that's pretty cool. I'm blown away by the thing. I've heard both fans and detractors, but I'm running a pair of Paradigm Signature S6's, and I couldn't be happier. I can only assume that the people that bash these speakers haven't driven them with anything good enough to see what they can do. A new turntable is probably on the horizon. L. |
I am a big Luxman fan having owned many pieces since the 70's (yes, I am an old fart). I'm currently running an Accuphase E-600 and I may be selling it to go back to the Luxman MQ-300 tube amp. The L-590AX or AXII are hands down, the best value in terms of Class A integrated amps. Also, with the new North American distributor, there is a $1,000 price drop. Whats not to love!!! If like the integrated, you will be smitten by the Luxman turntable! I'm glad you are enjoying my old amp! |
