I've said it earlier and will say it again. The Luxman L-590AXII (yes it's Class A) is gold. It's very good at its price range. I haven't listened to the costlier options but the Luxman can qualify as an endgame amp, the last amp that you'll ever need.

If anyone is interested in the Luxman L-590AXII, spend some time reading these 2 reviews. In the first review, the lab report shows a power output of 95W/8ohm and 165W/4ohm https://www.luxman.cz/data/test/test-en-l590axii-hifinews.pdf https://www.stevehuffphoto.com/2018/11/25/hi-fi-review-luxman-590-axii-integrated-amplifier-review-b... |
The Gryphon Diablo 300 should be excellent at its asking price. What is the current retail price of the amp? The last time I checked it is around $16,000 to $17,000 for the basic model. The Luxman L-590AXII is around $9,000 only. The Luxman L-590AXII represents great value for money. It is able to drive difficult loads with its conservative power ratings and in Class A adds a slight advantage over Class AB types. The only cons are the heat it produces and weight, although most quality amps in similar class are usually huge and heavy. |
