509 (Class A/B) and 590 (Class A) both being amazing amps, depends on preference.

eziggy - you are correct. The 509 resembles the sonic signature of the 700 combo slightly more than the 590. For me, the 590 is slightly more warm with slightly less bass slam than the 509 but it really boils down to personal preference and component synergy.
I am considering an upgrade to the 900 combo and will be auditioning this gear over the next few weeks.
