Luxman 509x VS Luxman 509Z

Hello to all Luxman owners,

I currently own Luxman 590II and Luxman 509X.  I've never heard the new 509Z and had a purchase set up but unfortunately or fortunately the sale did not work out with seller.  All that to say I'm now back on the Merry Go Round curious to any owners thoughts as to improvements they can share between the aforementioned units. Very pleased with my current set up however curiosity and impulse are making me long for making the change. Much appreciate any thoughts one can share as to their experience with said units.

Cheers!

I recently purchased the 509z to replace an older McIntosh Integrated and posted my comments on this thread.

The 509Z is better than the 509X, but it's not night and day... I wouldn't replace the X if I had it already, just not enough of a difference to justify the relatively significant cost difference between them.

Some here live deep into this hobby and you’ve really given nothing tangible regarding a system.  One of my several integrated amps is the 509X.  It is loved and fed well, surrounded by great pieces allowing peak performance.

We’ve nothing to work off.  So, whatcha got?
