It really depends on the model you are talking about. The R1120 is a great unit with the “old” Luxman sound as far as the transistor Luxmans go. I have one and I love it. Later in their history LV117, LV115 etc were amps with early D/A converters. These are what some term the Apline Luxman era. Fast, strong and a little dry as opposed to the old Luxman stuff. The LV 105 U was halfway in between the two “sounds”
My pic’s include the L 530, L100 and SQ38 in the affordable range.
I hope that helps a little. I do say buy with caution, meaning have a good technician who can replace caps etc.

Wonder how one would classify the Luxman sound.

I’ve read the pioneers have high treble, while the marantz/harman kardon’s are very warm and ‘tube’ like.

Anyone?
