Luxman

• Japanese high-end · Precision · Natural sound

Luxman is one of those brands that doesn't just build hi-fi equipment, it lives and breathes it. The story began over a century ago in Osaka, where brothers T. Hayakawa and K. Yoshikawa presented their first radios under the name "Lux" in a small picture framing shop. What started as an experiment quickly developed into one of the most influential manufacturers of Japanese audio technology. As early as 1945, Luxman produced its first in-house phono cartridge, followed by a tube amplifier in 1955 – milestones that laid the foundation for the brand's legendary reputation.

International renown that continues to this day

Icons like the SQ38, with its wooden cabinet and signature champagne-colored front, brought Luxman international acclaim in the 1960s. This model – continuously refined – remained a symbol of musical authenticity and timeless design for decades. Even today, such classics reflect the brand's DNA: technical elegance, sonic substance, and a deep connection to music.

Traditional craftsmanship for the most natural sound reproduction

Luxman embodies a philosophy that consciously rejects rapid technological advancements. Instead, their engineers combine traditional craftsmanship with modern circuitry, meticulously selected components, and uncompromising manufacturing quality. The goal is not maximum gimmickry, but a natural, organic sound reproduction – finely detailed, dynamic, and emotionally authentic. Music should not be analyzed, but experienced.

Diverse product range at a high-end level

Today, the portfolio includes high-quality amplifiers, tube and transistor designs, turntables, digital sources, and converters at a true high-end level. Every device is designed for longevity – both sonically and mechanically. It is precisely this consistency that has earned Luxman a loyal, worldwide following: music lovers who value substance, precision, and character.

Luxman is not a trend, but a constant. A brand for listeners who recognize, appreciate, and enjoy quality for years to come. Now also available in the auditorium.

FAQ

What makes Luxman stand out from other high-end brands?

Luxman combines decades of experience with Japanese precision and an uncompromising love of music. Unlike many other high-end brands, Luxman focuses not only on technical measurements but also on the emotional impact of the sound reproduction. Each component is engineered to deliver natural fidelity, rich detail, and vibrant musicality – almost like an instrument that makes the spirit of the music directly palpable.

What makes Luxman special?

What makes Luxman so special is the combination of traditional craftsmanship and modern engineering. Their devices are characterized by high-quality materials, sophisticated circuitry, and aesthetic design that appeals to both form and function. Luxman products reproduce even the subtlest nuances, convey the atmosphere of a concert, and deliver a profoundly emotional listening experience that many other high-end systems cannot match.

What is the difference between a preamplifier, power amplifier, and integrated amplifier?

A preamplifier processes input signals and controls the volume. The power amplifier amplifies the signal for the speakers, ensuring dynamics and clarity. An integrated amplifier combines both functions in one device and is suitable for compact systems.

Preamplifier: The preamplifier is the control center of the hi-fi system. It processes input signals from sources such as CD players, turntables, or streaming devices, selects the desired source, controls the volume, and prepares the signal for the power amplifier.

Power amplifier: The power amplifier does the heavy lifting. It amplifies the signal processed by the preamplifier to such an extent that it can drive the loudspeakers. It largely determines how dynamic, clear, and powerful the music is reproduced.

Integrated amplifier: An integrated amplifier combines preamplifiers and power amplifiers in a single device. It can directly process, control, and transmit signals to loudspeakers. It is often the ideal solution for smaller systems or compact setups, while separate components offer maximum flexibility and high-end performance.

Who are Luxman devices suitable for?

Luxman is for those who want to not just hear music, but feel it. While advanced users and professionals appreciate the precision and depth of sound, beginners also benefit from the intuitive operation and the natural sound that impresses immediately. The devices grow with the listener's needs and are therefore ideal for music lovers who want to invest in high-quality playback for the long term.
