A$4,800 is fair, a touch on the keen side, but not expensive for a like-new L-505uXII in today’s used market. New pricing has sat around A$6,999 in Australia, and overseas retail/review chatter puts this model roughly in the A$4,700–A$5,000 zone, so this asking price is basically near the expected used landing point rather than a bargain hunt.
What makes it worth chasing is the blend of Luxman refinement, solid 100W-per-channel drive, and a genuinely useful MM/MC phono stage, all wrapped in the brand’s hefty, high-finish build quality. If the unit is truly like-new, that matters here: these are keeper amps, the sort that reward careful ownership, and a clean example with box, remote, and paperwork is the kind of listing I’d consider buying if the rest of the system can use its smooth, authoritative presentation.
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."
