4 out of 5 "Philips 590 Vintage Amp"
Wow, this Philips 590 sounds good, and it's evergreen. It has been more than ten years since I got this amplifier, and my customer sent it for repair and left it forever. I am equipped with Philips AD? ? ? 4" full-range long-throw speaker combination with AR tweeter (two-way) perfect sound, especially the bass sound enhancement of no echo, solid impact. Perfect sound for all range of vocal, jazz.

5 out of 5 "22 RH 590"
Very good vintage amp from Philips best era. Nice and warm sound. Bit underpowered but its special sound compensates. A matching speaker must be found for this, I use model 22 RH 422. Buy one in a good condition and try it - you will not be disappointed.

4 out of 5 "Philips 590 HiFi amp"
In the seventies (so, it is real vintage today) I bought my first HiFi chain: a Philips 590 amplifier and Philips 691 tuner. The amp was driving a pair of Pioneer 3-way speakers with really nice gold coloured fronts. Both the amp and the tuner were stamped as "HiFi". They never let me down and always sounded great. When I married and moved to another city the HiFi chain remained behind with my parents, who never really used the system. When my mom moved to a service flat, I had the opportunity to get the complete system back in my possession. I did very little restoration work: I replaced the light bulbs in the tuner and replaced also the caps in the filter of both speaker. That's all. Great was my surprise that this combination still sounded really good! The amp, although it delivers only a modest 2 x 15 Watts into 8 ohms, has no problem to provide a dynamic sound at pretty high volume. Pots and switches are not making any noise. This amp is really made to last forever. It now serves as a second system in my house. Great stuff!
