590axii in the house


The 20 hour used 590axii showed up Saturday as I was getting ready to walk out the door to audition speakers.
Stopped in my tracks when I saw Fedex.  Got the amp unboxed and setup.  This thing is amazing - fit and finish is incredible.

I only have an old pair of Paradigms that I had to connect to get some listening in.  Even though Luxman says break-in is 450 hours, the sound is deep and rich with those speakers - I can't imagine how the sound will improve after break-in and better speakers.

Finding speakers to audition is gonna be more difficult than the amp, which I bought blind (there is only one Luxman in my entire state, a 509x which I didn't want).

Most experts recommend buying the speakers first but what do they know anyway.

Another thing they recommend is "Never buy a speaker you have not heard". 

Now that one I have to say is a good rule. 

Interesting that you were able to survey the entire state (Wyoming?) to learn that you own of the two Luxman products in residence.

Open your eyes. No more buying blind unless its an airline ticket
to nearest city with Brick and Mortar retailers.

That is my advice on a good match with the Luxies.
