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

When I worked at San Jose's Garland Audio in the late '70's, I sold a number of Luxman R1050's, a rated-at-55-watts-per-channel receiver that regularly ate the lunch of shall-remain-nameless much-higher-power integrateds that customers brought in for comparison auditions. The secret was the beefy power supply...and, I assume, the ears of the people who designed and engineered it. One customer I sold one to told me a year ago that she still had it and that everything still worked without a hitch.
