Luxman 509x vs Hegel H390

Lux for sure.  I have yet to hear a Hegel amp that I really like the sound of and I have heard most of them.  

No such thing as 509uxii. 
 

do you mean 509x or 590axii?

Correction : make that the L-509-x.

Made in Japan & ordered from Japan in new condition.

Could not be any happier.

To our ears the Hegel lacked dynamics, musicality, dimension.  The Luxman very musical lacked bass control and output.  The old BEL power amp in stock form was just better in every way.

Happy Listening.

my 2 cents

i am a big hegel fan, they are wonderful amps for the purity of sound they deliver, but they are made in china to reduce cost and they hardly pass as audio jewelry

in my experience, sonically they do not take a back seat to luxman's solid state, i personally believe the upper models marginally surpass the luxmans for bass control and treble purity (i have heard the 509x and 507 models)

but i can understand, those attracted to luxman will usually not be attracted to hegel, and vice versa
