Luxman vs Pass Labs

luxman built to the very highest standards comparable to the highest of the high end . some company’s investment on the outside is shameful given uber pricing. the argument that this is to facilitate more on the inside irritates me because a purchaser should have both. i think it’s more likely that more on the outside means more on the inside. i love my arc amp but they didn’t spend jack on the box. the inside ain’t loaded either but it does sound great. rowland is a good example that loads it up in and out. i can think of many. imo

Anyone using just the amp section of their 590axII (main in on Luxman to a tube pre) ?? Wow--pretty good on my end--

Pass is great stuff with wonderful sound do not waste your money on Luxman which is overpriced.

I happen to be in auditions these last days and to divide myself between a Luxman L-590axII and a Pass Labs Int-25, both class A, both with a sound that I identify my self a lot and like it very much. A full, sweet and very musical sound. I haven't made a decision yet, but I know I'll be happy with either one. Cheers
