Angeboten wird „Luxman L-550AX Mark II Class A Integrated Amplifier — Mint, Boxed, 100V Japan“ von Luxman als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Vollverstärker“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 2296994381 endet am 24.08.2026 um 11:03 Uhr.
This €3,990 ask for the Luxman L-550AX is a genuine bargain, sitting well below the typical used market range of €4,500–€6,000 for this well-regarded model. With new equivalents like the L-550 aX mark 2 listed at €6,490 and the original retail hovering around €4,600 (converted from $4,990), this price represents a clear buying opportunity for a clean unit.
The L-550AX is iconic for its lossless volume control, superb build quality, and that classic Luxman sound that pairs lavishly with single-ended-triode tubes despite its modest 20Wpc output. Its 105dB signal-to-noise ratio and 0.007% THD ensure pristine audio, while the original-owner condition and included accessories (remote, box) add meaningful upside. At this price, it’s a rare chance to own a best-sounding integrated under €5,000 without the typical wear concerns.

Luxman traces its origins to 1925 in Osaka, Japan, when brothers T. Hayakawa and K. Yoshikawa launched a radio equipment division within their Kinsuido picture frame import business, coinciding with Japan's inaugural radio broadcast. Initially importing components, the company soon pivoted to in-house manufacturing of transformers and switches, birthing the Luxman brand and establishing it as one of Japan's oldest electronic component makers. This heritage of precision engineering has endured through ownership shifts, including stints with Alpine and Samsung, before returning to Japanese hands in the early 2000s under dedicated Luxman Corporation.
The brand specializes in luxury high-end audio components, with a storied emphasis on amplifiers—both integrated and power models—preamplifiers, and receivers renowned for their warm, detailed sound. Luxman also produces turntables, CD players, tape decks, and speakers, alongside modern digital offerings like DACs, all handcrafted in Japan with custom parts and dual-mono designs for ultimate fidelity.
Positioned firmly in the high-end market, Luxman commands respect among discerning audiophiles for its timeless aesthetics, uncompromising build quality, and sonic refinement that bridges vintage warmth with cutting-edge performance. Classics like the 1970s CL-32 preamp and 1980s L-507 integrated amplifier fuel its collector appeal, while contemporary lines reaffirm its status as a boutique benchmark for those seeking "Ultimate Fidelity since 1925."
