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.
The Luxman L-595A SE integrated is coming.

@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. |
Thank you @joeinid. You are so right about the 595 being redundant with the C900U/M10X combo.. I am tired of the MA352 and my choices with the dealer is I can swap it out within a year of purchase of anything that is twice as much, and that’s part of the reason I was considering the 595 for swapping it with the MA352 that I paid $6500.. Honestly, I don’t care for the Mcintosh sound, hopefully I don't draw any wrath on that. I swapped the MC462 with the M10X, the C53 with the C900U with a demo unit while I wait for the one that I ordered, and I can’t be any happier. The M10X is such a beauty and it drives the Magico’s effortlessly.. I don’t use any subs in my 2 channel stereo and I don’t miss it one bit. The reason I went with the 550AXII and the C900U/M10X is to enjoy both the integrated and separate versions of Luxman products.. I adore the brand and I am so glad to have a dealer here in the northwest.. Have you gotten use to the looks of the 595? that holds me back a little, although I will be looking at them in person next weekend at the dealer.. The black underside, is that plastic? thanks for the reply again.. |
