This was my fathers. Good working condition. Some cosmetic blemishes as shown in pictures. Please see pics for details and holler with any questions.The last two pics are from just testing the bias on 9/25/2026. Thank you for looking.Here are the specs from the manual I found online: Power output: 70 watts per channel into 8Ω (stereo)Frequency response: 10Hz to 100kHzTotal harmonic distortion: 0.25%Input sensitivity: 0.125mV (MC), 2.5mV (MM), 150mV (line)Signal to noise ratio: 70dB (MC), 90dB (MM), 110dB (line)Semiconductors: 3 x IC, 39 x transistors, 10 x FET, 12 x zener diodes, 32 x diodes, 2 x vacuum tubesDimensions: 438 x 148 x 353mmWeight: 10.2kg
The typical used asking market is US$500–US$715, with a US$549 median, so US$549 is exactly fair market value—not a bargain, but certainly not ambitious. The unknown condition keeps it from being an obvious standout, though the price is sensible if it is fully operational and presentable.
The LV-105 remains appealing for its distinctive hybrid design: tube driver circuitry brings warmth, dimensionality, and a touch of valve character, while the MOS-FET output stage supplies stronger grip and punch than many conventional tube amplifiers. It is an unusually interesting vintage Luxman rather than a generic integrated amp. Before buying, confirm both channels, inputs, protection-delay behavior, controls, and tube illumination; at this age, service history and a clean, quiet demonstration matter more than cosmetic perfection.
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."
