Luxman Audio Gear - what is happening with them here in USA

I would like to throw this out to the group and just simply ask a question about what is happening with their distribution here in the US. This company has been around for awhile and has made some great strides recently to get back into the high end audio marketplace with some great products. However, I have heard that the US Distribution has changed, and leaves me to wonder what is this company's direction, where would I get something of their fixed here in the US and what is their future ?  Some of their stuff is not cheap but makes me wonder about there future here in the US and should I hold off considering buying their products. Responses would be appreciated.....

Count me among Luxman's fans.
mountainsong, that L-590AX that I bought from you in February is some of the best money I've ever spent, the sound is stunning. Everyone that has heard it has been amazed.
Thanks again.

sonometer, I’ll just post these links for you to look at. Luxman only publishes the power for the class A portion of the amp, which seems a dis-service. I wouldn’t feel comfortable making a blanket statement about the amp and your speakers, although I’m inclined to think it wouldn’t be an issue.

My impression is that Luxman is hiding the fact that the amp actually goes into A/B after the initial 30 watts of class A output. Beyond that, I can't comment, nor do I have any idea what other manufacturers do or don't do. I love the amp, you were unhappy with one you saw. Your experience was obviously an outlier, since every other owner I've heard has nothing but positive things to say.
