Luxman Audio Gear - what is happening with them here in USA


I would like to throw this out to the group and just simply ask a question about what is happening with their distribution here in the US. This company has been around for awhile and has made some great strides recently to get back into the high end audio marketplace with some great products. However, I have heard that the US Distribution has changed, and leaves me to wonder what is this company's direction, where would I get something of their fixed here in the US and what is their future ?  Some of their stuff is not cheap but makes me wonder about there future here in the US and should I hold off considering buying their products. Responses would be appreciated.....

Much Thanks! for sharing- All.


I would not mind auditioning the Luxman CD/SACD spinner recently reviewed in Stereophile.  Happy Listening!

I was recently auditioning a $15k + turntable and cartridge through a Luxman valve preamp, a Bryston amp, and a pair of odd-shaped KEF speakers.

There was a buzz in one channel of the LUXMAN that could not be gotten rid of. The tech fellow and the turntable manufacturer switched out everything and the fault was found to stay in that one channel of the Luxman.

One swallow does not a summer make but these are not the Luxman products of yore. Today they seem to be built down to a price. I'm sure Magnolia will have them next.

Thanks to everyone for all the informative, level-headed discussion about Luxman components. I am a hifi neophyte about to invest a fairly significant chunk of my yearly income in new equipment. A Luxman integrated amp is on my short list. ----- My questions are about the compatibility of a 590 series IA with low sensitivity speakers, e.g., Magnepan .7s, and the capabilities and quality of the 590 headphone stage. My first concern arises from the knowledge that Luxman amps are rated (by Luxman) at considerably lower power than comparably priced, hi-end equipment. My second concern arises from pure ignorance. ----- Many thanks for a thoughtful response.  
"One swallow does not a summer....I'm sure Magnolia will have them next."                                                                                                                                                                                                                                   Come on, this falls into the pantheon of ridiculous comments, of which there are many. Jeez louise....









sonometer, I’ll just post these links for you to look at. Luxman only publishes the power for the class A portion of the amp, which seems a dis-service. I wouldn’t feel comfortable making a blanket statement about the amp and your speakers, although I’m inclined to think it wouldn’t be an issue.
