Luxman L-505 uXII intergrated amplifier - fully double boxed - pristine condition legendary Luxman build quality. stunning sound are opportunity to buy this amplifier fully double boxed, original packaging. remote enhanced power lead , also original power lead. new price £4300 none owner, bought from Analogue Seduction rarely used, too many amps. always kept in rack with glass front, so pristine condition. UK only auction will not post, don`t trust the couriers. personal pickup only from Liverpool, will give demo.
The asking price is ambitious versus the recent used market, sitting well above the £2,024 75th percentile and nearly 3× the £817 median. It is not crazy for a clean, desirable integrated amp, but it’s firmly premium money and only makes sense if the condition is genuinely excellent and provenance is strong.
That said, this is a well-regarded Luxman with the kind of smooth, muscular, refined presentation people buy them for, so a tidy example can still be a very satisfying long-term keeper. At this level, the value depends on completeness and upkeep: original packaging, remote, and proof of careful ownership help a lot, while age-related service history matters because these are complex, heavy amplifiers.
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."
