Luxman L-509X

@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.

Ok, well best of luck to both buyers and sellers at those price points.

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.

I spoke with someone yesterday who has considerable experience with Luxman Class A, and their counterpart Class A/B Integrateds. His advice was not surprising. In short...with a warmer balanced speaker like Harbeth, he prefers the AB amps. However, with a more revealing, neutral (if you will) speaker like a Kharma, the Lux Class A will give them much needed warmth. I use Kharma and Harbeth because I have owned both and consider them sonic polar opposites.
