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

As already mentioned Luxman was a cut above the rest. A refined quality sound. It really didn't reach out a grab you by the pants like a Marantz. But a very high quality refined sound. Can't make any more sense than that for ya????

Also one caveat about Luxman. There products literally go on a case by case situation. They had some great stuff and they had some not so great stuff - again?????

Also some of their pieces from around the late 70's are virtually unfixable. Nothing to do with quality. Buty the engineers designed these things with the intent of NEVER taking them apart or servicing them. Some of them were clearly built as a one way ticket. I worked on a L-11 - ain't no way that mother was coming apart unless it was TOTALLY apart.
