Sure looks great. Quite a change from a few months ago. Any initial impressions even though it's fresh out of the box?

Warm and sweet

Thanks Ivan for blowing up the picture

Tommy you are 100% correct no jumpers required. I guess I will be selling a brand new pair of Jen Labs jumpers.

Sweet and warm thanks Dan

That's a beautiful unit.

On a side note how do you like that Cosecant? (I can PM you so this doesn't get sidetracked if you'd rather).

Thanks Doug,The Cosecant is extremely well built and very nice mid range bloom

John...a big congrats on the Luxman integrated. I heard their separates (C-600f and M-600A) and I was very very impressed. I could live with that combo no problems. I am sure their integrated has the same sonic attributes.

After 24 hours of burn in my first impressions to my ears is the Luxman has an intoxicating warm sound and retrieves a lot of low level detail. The extra 22 watts of Class A really make the 15" woofer sing. The bass has a lot more control then my 300b integrated as it should. The 590 has very liquid midrange sound almost tube like.The meters reminder me of my old Mac 501 days. As Tommy pointed out no more jumper cables on the exterior just a switch to separate the pre from the amp. Comparing it to my old Burmester 911's which I also ran the Tannoy's with for a couple of weeks before I sold them, fit and finish Burmester a ten the Luxman is a 8 . I always loved the top of the 911 but the front panel goes to Luxman (my personal preference). The 911 isn't as warm sounding as the Luxman, not that one is better than the other just a different animal.The 911 will give you more resolution without a hint of sibilance and was made for a higher quality speaker like my old Hansen's or a Wilson's or a TAD. The Luxman has great system synergy with the Tannoy's . The heat factor doesn't feel that much different from the 911 when touching it at high listening levels. But you can smell the heat in the air from the Luxman just like my old Plinius Odeon. I sure could smell the components baking in yesterday (funky smell). I was getting worried that I might have that same smell problem Alberto had when he had his Luxman last year. I don't get wowed very often but for everything the 590 offers ( all in one component case) it definitely a good buy.

John,

Great news. Sounds like the right choice. I love the way it looks as well.

Congrats and welcome to the Luxman family I'm still loving mine and have not looked back since it arrived. By the way if you are no longer needing the Dussy jumpers I might take them off your hands.
