Luxman L-590AXII

摘要

This beast of an integrated amplifier, the £6995 L-590AXII, certainly merits your attention and it can be used as a preamp or power amp by activating the button labelled 'separates', next to 'direct' - which bypasses the balance and tone control circuitry. Luxman's 30W/ch rating may apply only to its billing as a Class A amp as this is no 30-watter in its real-world behaviour. But sheer power will not be why you'll fall in love with the L-590AXII. No, you'll want this for the same reason that people buy retro-inspired cars. It's bursting with the features and virtues that we enjoyed in hi-fi until ultra-minimalism came to rule.
