RE: Why were vintage luxman so good? Any standouts?

Luxman was a smaller house aiming for the upper tier of the market-
they understood the importance of good transformers, and largely kept things simple - well till the '80s - with a receding face plate and other gimicky stuff in their receivers-
then there also was the period where Tim deParavicini designed a couple of amps and pre-amps - tubed, of course....
They have had ups and downs - mostly due to ownership issues, and recently (past 10years?) have made a serious effort at regaining their former glory - I have an old receiver that still works well, and is happy driving quad '57s - but it is not without its issues.
Happy Listening
