Luxman L-590A Mark II
The record on the Luxman L-590A Mark II is thin. What survives is a reference in a single comparative review, plus a handful of used-market auction listings. There is no documented production run, no original MSRP, and no detailed specification sheet in the archive. No power output figures, no frequency response data, no dimensions or weight. The only confirmed technical fact is that the L-590A Mark II is a Class A integrated amplifier.
The period commentary does tell us where it sat. One reviewer, writing on skyfiaudio.com, said he strongly preferred the less expensive Luxman L-505u over the L-590A Mark II. He called the Mark II a "$10k+ Class A" amplifier and the L-505u a "$4k Class A/B" design. That suggests the Mark II cost more than the L-505u, but it's one source's opinion, not a measured review. No publication in the archive's whitelist covered this model, so there is no independent technical assessment here.
Used-market activity confirms the model exists and that it sold at a premium. Japanese auction listings show an "LUXMAN L-590A" described as an "original A class pre-main amplifier" with remote control, bidding around ¥320,000. Another listing, an "LUXMAN L-590AⅡ" described as an "original A class operation system pre-main amplifier", reached roughly ¥305,000. No source explicitly confirms whether "L-590AⅡ" and "L-590A Mark II" are the same product under different naming conventions.
Known facts, in brief:
- Class A integrated amplifier ("original A class" per Japanese market listings)
- Priced above $10,000 USD per a comparative review
- Sold with remote control and original power cable (per auction listings)
- No production years, detailed specifications, or independent reviews documented
If you have one, or a manual or a period review tucked away, the archive would welcome the documentation.
