Luxman L-509Z Integrated Amplifier An opportunity has presented and as a result, I need to sell my Luxman. I only took delivery of this beauty on Saturday 30th March after a 5 month wait. This is the latest flagship integrated amplifier from Luxman and it sounds tremendous! Please refer to the following link for all the tech specs: https://www.luxman.com/product/detail.php?id=45 Purchased from a local dealer in Melbourne and complete with box, papers and the balance of the warranty. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Stereophile review: https://www.stereoph
This is a deal: at A$13,850, it lands below the A$13,224–A$33,197 comparable range only in the sense that it is comfortably under the median A$17,504 and well below the 75th percentile, so it reads as a strong buy rather than an ambitious ask. With just four recent comps, I’d still call it priced on the friendly side of fair, not bargain-bin, but clearly in buyer-friendly territory.
The L-509Z has the sort of reputation that makes a clean used example worth chasing: authoritative drive, very refined control, and enough current delivery to handle demanding speakers without sounding strained. If the unit is genuinely tidy, with no channel imbalance, scratchy controls, or remote/accessory gaps, this is the kind of integrated that can anchor a system for years and is often worth paying for when the price is sensible.
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."
