Der Luxman R-1120 ist das absolute Flaggschiff-Modell der legendären R-Serie von Luxman aus den Baujahren 1977 bis 1980
The €600 ask looks fair to slightly strong, not cheap, for a Luxman R-1120 in good condition. Similar vintage listings and value guides put working examples roughly in the €450–€900 zone, with excellent or restored units often pushing higher, so this sits around the middle-to-upper part of normal market territory rather than as a bargain.
That still makes it a worthwhile buy if the unit is clean and fully operational. The R-1120 has the kind of Luxman build, smooth tuner section, and authoritative vintage sound that keeps these desirable, and good cosmetics matter on this model. At this price, I’d want confirmation of original knobs/case, stable channel balance, and no noisy switches or relay issues, but a well-kept example is a solid piece to own.
Independent perspective — not a price guarantee. Always verify condition, accessories and provenance before purchase.
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."
