Ditusa, it's been 40 years, let it go.
Luxman Taking a Different Direction
Luxman's parent company has decided to terminate the relationship with its current US distributor, On a Higher Note. It will be interesting to see what they decide to do in terms pricing, distribution and promotion of the brand. Clearly, they have their work cut out for them given the scattered past of this brand - especially in North America.
For those of you who don't know Philip O'Hanlon, the owner of On a Higher Note, he is an extremely "colorful" individual with a passion for music and high-fidelity equipment. He represents many other lines so I am sure he is dealing with this quite well. Nonetheless - he put 10 years into promoting Luxman in the states.

@sfall, it’s hard to say if Cable Company will become the distributor. The official word is that IAC (Luxman’s parent company) is taking over distribution themselves. An Upstate New York address is already listed on the Luxman website - apparently a residential address too! I have owned may pieces of Luxman gear starting in the early 70's through last year. With the exception of the production units during the 80's, I have found their products to be quite good. |
I like the looks of their older gear, can't say much for the newer designs. Luxman has been owned by many companies over the years and at one time by Alpine. Lux made some of the best output transformers available once. http://www.thevintageknob.org/luxman-B-10.html |
