I'm a Luxman dealer so take it for what it's worth. I'd forget about the class A vs AB. I'm still struggling to tell which models I prefer. Hearing class A many think that means better and it may in many cases but the Lux AB stuff is equally good to A just a bit different. Without getting to audiophile. The Class A Lux is what you would expect. Bit more romantic. Lush etc. Warm without being too warm. The AB hits harder and is more dynamic. But sitting in front of both, you'd be hard pressed to pick one type. They are both quite amazing. For example, I prefer the AB stuff on a large speaker such as the Harbeth 40.1 and the Class A on say an HL5. Just for sheer control and authority. Both are equally refined. Bottom line, you pay big bucks for small gains in audio Is the 507 worth the extra over the 550. In many instances I would say yes. The 507 is more detailed and refined as it's a more exact piece. I could live with either.
Difference between Luxman L-550A II & L-507u
I was wondering if anyone has heard both of these Luxman integrated amps, and can comment on the sonic differences. I have heard the L-550A II and the bigger 590 and was very impressed. I'm seriously considering getting the 550, but just read about the 507 and am curious. It's not on audition close to me, so wondering if anyone can chime in (and not just a guess about Class A vs. Class AB, but actual experience).
Thanks!
Thanks!
