We have one open box 9/10 for sale first come first served. These amps were used for four days during THE Show in Newport Beach, then packaged back up and never opened since.

To celebrate their 80’th Anniversary, Luxman designed a cost no object reference amplifier & matching preamp. This is a dedicated monoblock design, using the finest components & a timeless design.  We are keeping one pair for ourselves as a reference. THIS IS THE LAST PAIR FOR SALE. We also have the matching C-1000f control amplifier.

The heart of any amplifier is the transformer; this is a bespoke design using flat copper bar, that could be stacked neatly together without leaving much of an air gap. Normally the copper strands are covered with shellac or lacquer but Luxman thought these coatings imparted a dullness to the sound so instead, they wrapped the copper in rice paper. The raw transformer weighs almost 56 lbs. Took a skilled artisan almost a day to assemble each transformer by hand.

The output from the transformer is bolted to a solid copper bus bar and the bespoke capacitors are also bolted (not soldered) to the copper bus bar for the tightest possible mechanical connection.

Fully balanced design. The power supply is 115 volt and designed by Luxman specifically for the N. American market.

The main circuit board is a Teflon covered by a plastic film & printed to indicate where the copper traces need to be laid & the components inserted & soldered into place. The film is removed & the copper received a gold plating, as copper oxidises over time & loses its connectivity. 

The factory rated output is 30 WPC, 8 ohm, class A that doubles down to 1 ohm.  After the class A rated output, the output slides into class AB, rated at 250 WPC into 8 ohms. But SoundStage measurements show 300 WPC into 8 ohms.  Peak power rating of 2,000 WPC into 1 ohm.

It's this remarkable attention to detail that delivered Luxman’s finest amplifiers.  For many these will prove to be the last amplifiers they need ever buy as they are sweet & musical, yet can deliver sledgehammer-like bass when called upon.  

We used these amplifiers for many years to demonstrate the Vivid Audio Giya G1 but they could also easily drive Wilson Alex V / Alexia or Magico M series or YG Sonias with equal aplomb.

These amplifiers are too heavy for FedEx or UPS’ normal services, so we will ship strapped & wrapped to a pallet. 150+ lb each net. Over 180 lb shipping each.

All sales are final.  No refund. No exchange. Wire transfer preferred.  C.C. + 3.5%.  Shipping not included.  Send us your zip code for a shipping estimate.

CA residents will need to pay sales tax.
