A friend sold Yamaha and Luxman side by side for years in the late 70s and early 80s and hands down the Luxman gear was better sounding..... also higher priced. I have owned several pieces of both vintage Yamaha and Luxman and they were consistent with price points. The Luxman 1020A was the apex of highend receivers. Crappy speaker terminals, but everything else was amazing.
The Yamaha 620 and 820 are fabulous budget receivers. The Yamaha 2020 is great stuff, but rather, and I mean rather large and heavy.
