Angeboten wird „C-800f/M-800A“ von Luxman als Gebrauchtgerät aus der Kategorie „Trans. - Vor- / End - Kombi“ bei audio-markt.de - dem Online-Marktplatz für High-End. Das Inserat mit der Nummer 56140826 endet am 06.09.2026 um 06:02 Uhr.
A new C-800f was about €1,000,000 at launch, so €9,750 for a good-condition used unit is firmly in the serious-audio territory but not out of line for this level; against the used market, it reads fair to slightly strong, not a bargain-basement find. Comparable asks I can identify cluster around roughly €6,000 for the preamp alone in one private listing, while paired or market listings put clean examples more in the high four figures to low five figures, so this asking price sits near the upper-middle of the sensible range rather than above it.
It’s worth buying because this is one of Luxman’s flagship line-stage designs: it’s built for refinement, drive, and a very low-noise, highly resolved presentation, with the kind of tactile control and scale that suits top-tier systems. If the unit is original, complete, and genuinely clean, the upside is owning a statement preamp that still feels special in both sound and build. At this price, I’d want the remote, box, and proof it’s been well cared for; otherwise, it’s a good piece, but the premium needs to be backed by condition and completeness.
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."
