The Luxman L-595A SE integrated is coming.

Luxman is releasing this fall a 95th anniversary integrated. It's style is from the late 1980's. No meters all buttons. Power wise it seems like the same as the 590AXII. World wide 300 of these integrated's will be built. 100 allocated to the US market. Price about $11,495. You can view it on the new Luxman website.

I’m hoping to find a used or demo 590axii. I can’t swing a L-595 (a couple of dealer’s still have one...I’m sure they won’t budge on price). The 509x may be the ticket as well. My ZU’s are 96-101 db efficient so I can go low or higher wattage with no issues.

 

There’s one (L-590AXII) currently listed here on Audiogon, auction ends tomorrow.

Luxman is probably if not one of the best integrated amps in class A.  For those that own one, its a one and done situation as its that good.  Clean, simplistic and years of enjoyment.  I use Luxman 590 with vintage B&W803.  Zu's Audio Soul Supreme have been on my target for sound, style and build.

@webking185 I agree. I have had the L595ase for a couple of weeks and this thing sounds fantastic!!

@joeinid I am in the market to check out the Luxman L595 A SE. I have the 550AXII, D03X and The M10X. And I am waiting on the C900U to be delivered. Right now I am driving the M10X with the preout of the 550AXII and it's heavenly. So I am an all in Luxman Fan.. My question is I have a Mcintosh MA352 that I am planning to swap out. Should I go for the 595ASE or the 380X? Any suggestion will be welcome.. My dealer has both. I am driving Magico speakers.. Please let me know..

Congratulations on having great taste. If you can get the 595 A SE, go for it. The LX-380 is awesome, I’m sure, but I don’t think nearly as powerful enough for Magico speakers. While the 590/595 integrateds are only rated at 30wpc, their power output is closer to 3X rated output. 
 

With the C900u/M10x combo, having the 595 might be a little redundant but will be stellar in its own right. With efficient speakers, the tube based LX-380 will be absolutely beautiful and musical but you’ll need easy to drive speakers.
