Offered is „LUXMAN MQ-88uc ENDSTUFE“ by Luxman as new device from the category „Tube-Poweramp“ on audio-markt.de - the online market place for high-end. The advert with the number 3307683273 ends on 25.10.2026 at 06:09 o'clock.
This Luxman MQ-88uC is a rare, low-power tube amplifier prized for its silky, organic sound and robust KT88 output stage, but the €6,490 asking price is ambitious. It sits well above the 75th percentile of €4,694 and significantly exceeds the median of €4,078 from recent EUR listings, making it roughly €1,800 over the typical used market anchor.
The MQ-88uC delivers exceptional tonal richness with 25Wpc, enough to drive many efficient speakers beautifully, and is celebrated for its smooth midrange and tight bass control. If this unit is in original-owner condition with all tubes intact and includes the power cord and manual, it’s a compelling buy for tube lovers—but only if the price moves closer to the €4,000–€4,700 range. At €6,490, it’s a tough sell unless the seller offers provenance or extras that justify the premium.

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."
