Luxman L3 studio standard class A solid state amplifier
Beautifully musical entry door to the legendary years of Luxman
As a slim follower to the Laboratory series, the L series came to confirm the brand intentions: Luxman was on the top of the list. Cleverly, as they knew their quality came with a price, the range was splitted among model numbers (L2, L3, L5…) where features and power rise gradually, so did the price.
This L3 is the middle of the range, with plenty enough power to drive any good speaker, delivering a superb image, massively detailed and of course this absolute "tube style" warm color that Luxman magically created in this blessed period. The phono stage is very qualitative and musical, but the dynamics are so good that digital source are never lost either.
And it is a Class A amplifier. Class A offers high-fidelity audio output, as it operates in a linear region where the output transistors conduct for the entire input signal cycle. This ensures minimal distortion, producing clear and accurate sound reproduction. Due to its continuous operation, Class A amplifiers have excellent harmonic integrity. They are also simpler in design and free from crossover distortion found in other classes.
Radical vision of quality up to set up the entry connections below the device to shorten the signal circuits. So don't look for connectors on the back panel.
Finished in silver. Comes with a printout repro of the user manual. Previous german owner did all the needed maintenance to keep it singing as it was its first day.
Fully cleaned, deoxydized and sanitized unit.
Perfect working condition, see the photo gallery for potential cosmetic signs of patina and age.
