If this is the M-06A / M-06α generation, the £2,455 asking price is a touch ambitious versus the usual used spread, which clusters roughly around £1,300-£1,800 with stronger examples reaching a bit above that. In that context, this sits above the middle of the market and I’d only call it strong if it’s exceptionally tidy, recently serviced, and properly documented.
The upside is that these are seriously respected pure Class A Luxmans: smooth, dense, and refined rather than flashy, with enough current delivery to make demanding speakers sound composed. They’re also old enough that condition and service history matter a lot, so a clean, original-owner example with proof of recap or recent checks is worth more. If it’s unserviced, budget for maintenance; if it’s serviced and complete, it’s still a very appealing buy for someone who values build quality and that classic Luxman 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."
