For the Luxman LV-113, the current used market leans slightly buyer-friendly, and US$329 is a strong deal compared to typical listings. Active eBay sales show this unit tested and working for US$320, while other sellers list it around US$387, placing your asking price just above the lowest verified sale but well below the median of active inventory. This sits near the 25th percentile of observed used pricing, making it a genuine bargain for a working LV-113.
The LV-113 is a respected late-80s Luxman integrated known for its smooth, musical sound, robust 110W into 4Ω output, and a surprisingly high-quality phono stage that handles both MM and MC cartridges. It also includes a built-in DAC (optical and coaxial), adding modern utility without sacrificing vintage tone. At this price, it’s a clear buying opportunity for enthusiasts wanting a reliable, well-built amp with genuine hi-fi character and useful digital inputs.

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."
