@re-lar-kvothe I own the 590 AXII and I highly recommend it. It does all that I expect it to do. My only other suggestion would be to purchase this unit instead:
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.
TIA

@re-lar-kvothe where we’re you able to find the 509axII for $7k? Or the mk1 for $3750? My speakers are pretty efficient and I may sell my First Watt SIT3 to try one. Thanks. |
An L-590AXll recently sold for less than $7K on USAM. There is an L-550AXll available now on the same site for $5400. Reverb has an L-550AX 120v US version for $3000. Ebay has all versions available from $3K but are shipped from Japan. If you have patience, I am sure one will pop up for sale again here in the US. I went another route and bought a Pass Labs XA-25. Now I am looking to sell my FirstWatt F6 |
