Luxman L-509X


Any A'Gon readers from Japan listened to this new integrated? The specs and description seems like it could be an incredible piece. Though likely dependent on how good the pre-amp stage sounds. The amp section is supposed to be similar to the great sounding m700u stereo amp.

"That price on AudioMart is absurd. Those sell used for around 8K each. I got the C900 for $7500 and it was about 6 months old. I can get them brand new for 10,500 each from multiple dealers. Do your homework people."
Wow! I thought the exact same thing when I viewed the ad.

@riaa... 
In what used marketplace do you find Luxman 900 gear for 8k? In what condition might they be, as well. 
Thx
There has been plenty over the past few years if you go on HIFISHARK and look up past sales...some as low as 7800. In the past month a guy here on the East Coast RE-LISTED his pair on Audio Mart that he initially had up for sale at 8K each (Asking price).  You have to be patient. Never saw any that had cosmetic damage.
I was about to purchase the L-590AXII after reading a rave review from Steve Huff’s site but stumbled upon this thread saying the L-509X trounced the 590AXII.

The 590AXII will be matched with Marten Duke 2 speakers as the Class A of the amp may bring the speaker to a higher level of performance when compared to my existing solid-state amps.
