Buyer’s market. At US$125, this is a solid buy rather than a steal, landing around the middle of the used range I found: working examples have recently shown up around US$90 to US$150, with the occasional rough/parts-unit much lower and cleaned-up or tested pieces a bit higher. So the asking price is fair if it’s fully functional and presentable, and only starts to feel ambitious if there’s no proof it’s been serviced or tested.
The LV-100 is worth a look because Luxman’s late-’80s integrateds have a smooth, civilized sound and good day-to-day usability, especially for a system that wants a phono stage and an easy-going presentation. For US$125, the upside is in originality and condition: a clean, unmolested unit with knobs intact, quiet controls, and no channel imbalance is a good pickup. If possible, confirm it powers up cleanly and switches without crackle, since age is the main variable here.
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."
