It states the Luxman 595 is only class A for the first 30 watts:
What exactly is 90 WPC? How can I tell volume percentage wise what that would be? Also, is that first 30 watts 4 ohm or 8 ohm?As for the specs, it has the same power output as the 590 AXII which is 30 watts of class A into 8ohms, 60 into 4 ohms. Even so, there is plenty more power on tap as it will go into Class A/B for much more than those 30 watts (though Luxman does not post these specs). I believe the 590 AXII was measured to almost hit 90 WPC after leaving Class A.
