Luxman Knockoffs or Counterfeits?
For anyone reading this, I acquired a made-for-US Luxman L-590AXii from a fellow agon member last November, and am totally happy with it's versatility, performance, power and sound. Bass punch is superb. I highly recommend it.

FYI: I purchased an L-590AX II from a very fine gentleman who has participated in this forum. Thanks to all for you helpful insights and advice.

Speaking of Customs. I asked one of the ebay sellers from Japan about Customs. It was my understanding that the seller/shipper must provide the Customs - HTS Harmonized Tariff Schedule - code in order for Customs to determine the fee, but thiis se... 
Luxman Knockoffs or Counterfeits?
I should have been more specific: I have been looking for the M-700u and the L-590AXII. I did see 1 of each on usaudiomart, but no success with either listing. I'm wondering though, how safe it would be buying from an ebay seller from Japan.  
A Word About SkyFi audio Customer Service
"I wouldn’t look at any of their videos as I do not care for the company owner." I started this discussion back in 4/21, so I'd just like to re-iterate that Elliot and Fernando could not have been more friendly or cooperative. I don't understand...

Elliot, Yes, the red lights change when I press volume up/down, and I kept the volume button pressed for a long time. When the lights changed it had no effect on the volume level. I live in Wisconsin, leaving soon for Arizona. I appreciate all ...

That was a nice suggestion, rwwear2. Unfortunately, the issues with the   volume/balance pots on the Luxman continued to present themselves through the Chase. Balance drift and volume on/off issues persisted. I have boxed the Chase and will be sen... 
What to use between Devore Gibbon 3x and its dedicated stand?
Thanks for the advice mwjones. I tried contacting John a couple of weeks ago, but got no reply. Maybe he has no interest in helping a purchaser of a used item.

Additional advice is appreciated. Just to clarify, when I placed the Chase between my source and connected to the Luxman main-in, the sound was audible from my speakers, but the volume level was very low and could not be adjusted up or down. Every...

Following recommendations from here, I purchased a Chase off ebay, but the unit doesn't appear to be compatible with my Luxman because I can only use the main-in on the Luxman. According to the Chase owner's manual, the volume setting on the ampli...

Your volume and balance pots can't be replaced because you've got the wrong tech working for you.  Find a better tech.   It was not just my tech who told me the identical Luxman volume/balance could not be replaced. A business known for doing v...

ryder, do you notice any issues using your 30wpc L-590AXII driving the Duke 2  3.8ohm (minimum)? The Duke 2 is not easy to find in the USA. Where are you located?

Thanks for all the great advice! I will follow through with your suggestions.

Thanks for all the comments so far. I recently purchased both ARC's used, and had both serviced by an authorized dealer. All tubes measred well, and bias settings are correct and have barely drifted since acquiring the amp. The original pots are ...

This is the view from my head. The ProAcs are not hooked up. When they are they would be positioned in roughly the same place but a bit further back.
