Luxman HiFi System HiFi System Due to down sizing I've decided to sell my rare Luxman LRS stack from the 1970's golden era of Japanese HiFi. Anybody familiar with this equipment knows the build and sound quality of this gear. Very hard to find on the second hand market as a complete system! As of listing this ad, I've tested the pre,amp,tuner,peak level meter and both cassette decks. All tested functional. The other ones appear to power up okay. I don't have enough spare cables to connect everything up and test "all at once"! All individual components (except the 5F70) DO NOT have the original
Should you pay A$6,500 for this, or are you better off waiting? Against your own comp set, that asks a lot: the median sold price is A$1,293, the 25th percentile is A$1,193, and even the 75th percentile is only A$5,909, so this listing lands above the upper end and reads as ambitious rather than fair.
That said, Luxman gear is usually bought for build quality, musicality, and long-term collectability, so a clean, original, well-kept system can still be worth a premium if it’s complete and properly serviced. With a tuner-oriented listing, the real upside is in condition, matching components, and any included remote, manuals, or boxes; if those aren’t there, I’d want a strong price advantage, not a premium.
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."
