At £2,450, this lands essentially on top of the recent used-market median of £2,460 and just under the 75th percentile of £2,517, so it reads as a fair asking price rather than a bargain or an overreach. For a well-kept example, that is exactly the zone where a buyer can move with confidence, especially if the cosmetics and service history support the “excellent” description.
The 505uXii is well regarded for a clean, controlled, slightly refined presentation with enough drive to suit a wide range of speakers, which makes it a very safe long-term integrated if you want serious performance without jumping to separates. The upside here is simple: at a fair price and in strong condition, this is the kind of amplifier that can be bought once and lived with for years, so it is worth prioritizing provenance, remote, and any original packaging rather than hunting for a discount.
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."
