At £5,237, this is essentially at the median of the recent used market for this amplifier, and only a touch above the £5,126 midpoint, so it reads as fair rather than a bargain or a stretch. The obvious alternative at this level is a newer midrange integrated, but the Luxman’s asking price is in line with what buyers are actually paying for this model, not fantasy-land pricing.
What makes it appealing is the usual Luxman mix of power, refinement and proper analogue flexibility: strong output, a built-in MM/MC phono stage, balanced inputs, tone controls and the sort of control and composure that makes it easy to live with. It’s a well-regarded, full-size amp with real audiophile credibility, so a clean example at this price is a sensible buy if the condition is genuinely tidy and the accessories are complete.
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."
