Vintage Luxman receivers


Bought a perfect condition Luxman R-104 at a garage sale today for 5 bucks! This thing sounds unbelievably good with my Focal 836w. I’ve powered these with Musical Fidelity A1008 and pimped out Jolida tube integrated. This thing sounds more well balanced than both I think. Powerful sounding little s..t. We’re these known to be good or do I just have bad taste?😃

blisshifi     gave a nice description.  I’ve owned several vintage pieces when still actually Luxman and one Alpine piece.  Yes, they’ve mostly always been that good.  
 

My latest foray is the Luxman 509X monster and they do have a house sound.  My newest is just that much more muscular and controlling than previous vintage pieces.

Yes.  Luxman, with the exception of the Alpine owned years, has always sounded great.  I’ve owned/own 5 pieces over the years.  Currently a 509X which really rocks. They are fun pieces and now command kind of ridiculous prices used.  Enjoy.
