I’ll keep using my 1980 SAE Two A14 Integrated. Designed in CA, manufactured by Luxman. Dual mono construction. A real sleeper! Parametric tone controls, world class amp and MM/MC phono pre. 

Great choice!  I've been enjoying my 590AXII for the past couple of months; end game amp purchase for me, replacing about $10K worth of separates. Certainly hard to fault the build quality, not to mention the sonics.

Luxman would be my first choice.  I would not be able to afford more than the 509.  I have the wife factor to deal with.  What kind of speakers do you have?  Looks like you are running 4 speakers.  Unless that tall black one to the left is a subwoofer.  Looks also like a nice listening room.  I hate seeing ugly, monstrous looking system with no racking.  I have my system located in our living room, which used to be the museum.  My gear is inside a beautiful cabinet, a real piece of furniture.  Good luck with your choice.  Build quality on a Luxman is world class.

@larry5729 I run two ZU Audio Omen defs. The tall black things are bass traps. Thanks for the kind words, My room is a mess right now. I'm slowly getting thins back to normal

@liza The 590 was my top Luxman choice before I saw the 595. I'm guessing the jump in sound quality from the 590 to the 595 is probably very small since, I think, are the same except for the build, chassis and some upgraded features/parts. How would you compare the two?
