Luxman Integrated - What do they sound like

Hi Everyone,

I'm considering getting myself a late 2018 Christma present or early 2019 birthday present.

Modern Luxman reviews are really hard to come by, and are generally just superlative without being very qualitative. I mean, it's all "rah rah rah!! " and no actual details.
For anyone who has listened to them lately, can you tell me what they actually sound like in comparison to other nice amps I might have heard?

Thank you,
Erik

Josh,
Thanks for your insightful post, sadly I'm really trying to reduce clutter, parts and cables. The need to simplify my listening experience is very real.

Not to mention the prices. While the 600 is a little more expensive than what I was thinking of for an integrated, I surely can't afford the 600 + a preamp, either financially or space.

Best,
E

On A Higher Note was the US distributor. Luxman is handling the account. When Luxman took over many of the prices dropped some as much as $5000. What you see from On a Higher Note is his back stock. Good prices but you can't order new Luxman gear from him.

Thanks for the update, since no one corrects old stories, I was going from what I had read online.

I hope there isn't an ugly backstory.

I thought I read that Accuphase was a lot more expensive in the US than in Japan due to their US distributor. Is this still true, or was I confusing it with Luxman?
