Accuphase E-470 or Luxman 590ax II ?
Hi JafantAs linnlingo mentioned, AVT carries Luxman.  I have purchased several pieces from them.  I purchased my Accuphase gear from Legends (Cape Cod and Florida).

It’s going to be tough to find a dealer that sells both.

It doesn't get THAT hot.  Unless your audio room is a broom closet, you will not notice the heat.   
Dealers hijacking the discussions
This tread reminds we of when my kids used to bicker back and forth.   I sure do miss those days! :) 
Accuphase E-470 or Luxman 590ax II ?
Builder3, I sold the Luxman D-06u and upgraded to an Esoteric K-01X.   
Dealers hijacking the discussions
IMO, there is a huge difference between providing advice versus an infomercial for a brand that one "coincidentally happens to carry". I also get annoyed by certain dealers who say a specific piece of gear sounds better than what I currently have ... 
Conrad Johnson LP125sa and ET5
jafant - it's a great amp.  Of course, I am constantly looking for something better! 
Conrad Johnson LP125sa and ET5
jafant and oddifyl - I loved my Luxman and foolishly I sold it and got several other amps after it (Accuphase E-470, Gato AMP 150 and now and Accuphase E-600).  It is an exceptionally well crafted integrated amp and it's the amp I regret selling t... 
Accuphase E-470 or Luxman 590ax II ?
To clarify, I have owned the Luxman L-590 AX followed by the Accuphase E-470 and now an Accuphase E-600. It’s a long story as to how and why I made that journey - suffice it to say it had a lot to do with speaker selections. Unless you have diffic... 
Accuphase E-470 or Luxman 590ax II ?
I have owned both amps.   Luxman hands down, no contest.   A more equal comparison would be the Accuphase E-600 and the Luxman 590AX II.

Wolf-garcia - you should check out Audio Video Therapy in Nashua, NH.  The exact opposite of Goodwins.   
Restocking Fees, 30-Day Free Trials
It's all about relationships.  I have two B&M dealers and one on-line dealer.  The on-line dealer offers no in home trials or returns.  I also get 15% to 20% of retail from him.  Both B&M dealers will let me do in home trials with anything... 
Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening
I've never had a dealer ask for money for an in-home audition.  A credit card on file to cover potential damage - sometimes.  But thats it. Doubtful if the two dealers cooperating would ever work  IMO.  
Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening
Hi Steve -  First of all, I have a MAJOR problem that causes me to analyze the performance of my gear.  Over the last year, I have switched amps 5 times and speakers 3 times (not to mention DACs, SACD players, speaker cables and interconnects. Sin... 
Just retired and want to get back to vinyl listening
I am a big Luxman fan having owned many pieces since the 70's (yes, I am an old fart). I'm currently running an Accuphase E-600 and I may be selling it to go back to the Luxman MQ-300 tube amp.  The L-590AX or AXII are hands down, the best value i...
