Luxman L590AX vs.590AXii


I am in the position of being able to buy either the 590AX or the 590AXii. The AXii is 2x the cost of the AX. I listened to the AX through Focal Kanta No2 speakers, which I own, and was thoroughly impressed. My question is this: what improvements did Luxman do to the AXii  relative to the AX that might justify spending 2x the cash on it?

The AX I listened to was manufactured in 2015 and is in pristine condition.

I have the 590AXii and love it. I plan on having it for the next 10 years if not more. Can’t compare it to the 1 for you, but I agree with @builder3 and @celtic66. I rationalized an expensive watch that way. Glad I did.
