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?😃

Yes, Great deal!

I bought new in 1977 two Luxman B-12 monoblock amps and a Luxman C-12 preamp I paid $2000 for the two amps and preamp back then. I had them for more then thirty years before I sold them. Boy they did sound nice driving my JBL 4435's.😎

In my opinion, the best sounding and the best made Luxman, solid state Amp and Preamp from the past, is the Luxman M-05 Power Amp and C-05 Preamp. I have not listened to any new Luxman gear, so I can not make any comparison on sound quality between old versus new. 😎 See below:
