Default Luxman 590A Mk II
Thought I would try out a Luxman product so I brought home one of their top integrated amps. This is the Class A 30wpc 590A Mk II. I am just using it as a power amp at this time driving my MBL 111f's. My sources are still connected to my C-1000 which passes the signal to the 590 via balanced interconnects.

Sounds very good so far.

Jim

Jim...looking forward to hear your thoughts. If this is sounding good, imagine what 2 M-800As will sound like

Interested in your impressions Jim & a comment on it's heat radiation. Heard it is quite the egg cooker (well, maybe not that bad).

It is hard to understand how a 30 watt amp could compare with a 1000 watt amp ?
