Description from the seller
The Luxman Sound Excellence (1984-1985)
The Luxman L-205 is an iconic integrated amplifier from the Japanese hi-fi "golden age."
Unlike the low-end amplifiers of its era that used integrated circuits (all-in-one chips), the L-205 relies on a discrete-component architecture.
This high-end design allows much finer signal management and easier maintenance for decades to come.
Exclusive Duo-Beta technology (Duo-Beta)
The heart of this device is the famous Duo-Beta circuit patented by Luxman. This innovation uses two distinct feedback loops:
- One loop for audible frequencies to minimize distortion.
- One loop for sub-bass to stabilize the direct current.
The result: An extremely natural sound, a wide stereo image, and that "warmth" characteristic that has made Luxman a worldwide name.
Main Technical Characteristics:
- Type: Solid-state amplifier (discrete power transistors).
- Power: 2 x 40 Watts into 8 Ohms (Actual dynamic power, capable of driving demanding speakers).
- Frequency response: Exceptional from 10 Hz to 100 kHz.
- Analog inputs: High-quality Phono (MM) for your turntable, Tuner, CD/Video, DAD, and two Tape in/out.
- Audio Controls: High-Cut filter, Loudness, Bass, Treble, and Balance.
- Outputs: Terminal blocks for two pairs of speakers (A, B or A+B).
- Design: Brushed aluminum front panel, elegant and timeless.
Condition of the device:
- Cosmetic condition: Excellent. The front is clean (See photos).
- Functional condition: Perfectly operational in 2018, date of last use. It has since been stored away from light and dust.
Contents of the sale: Luxman L-205 amplifier.
Shipping and Safety: The device will be protected by several layers and placed in a rigid double carton.
Delivery: Shipment with tracking number
