![]() ![]() I think it will thump for another 14 easy. I purposely bought it for the sizable transformer, which I believed would mean longevity. I've waited 14 years to comment on my AX-592. In todays used market these units can be purchased anywhere between €150-€250 and this is a steal! My advice is to buy it and use it as a power amp, as it will bring out the very best of any quality preamp! It is also very important to use the B speakers as these have board mounted posts, not the A ones as they are cable linked! It is impossible in todays market to aquire a 2x100W power amplifier of this quality for less than €2000, and it is still doubtful that it will better the 592. ![]() The sound of the power amplifier is very modern, super clear and transparent, with a tight, deep and accurate bass, perfect middles, and super smooth and strong highs. ![]() However if one uses the AX-592 as a power amplifier here is where dividents are paid for the very high quality parts used and the super efficient dual mono design. The reason for the latter being the preamplifier which is loaded with every imaginable feature, something that comes at a price in the sound quality. The sound is clear, dynamic, balanced and powerful, but nothing exceptional, just a good sound. As an integrated it is build to a high standard and it suprisingly uses very high quality componetents inside, found usually only in high end equipment, if you take a look under the top lid. Bought this new in 2001 for €600 to use in my home cinema after reading many reviews in the press. ![]()
