LUXMAN L-505UXII

Price referred to the product on display

The Luxman L-505uXII integrated amplifier is a product that challenges the boundaries of perfection, a coveted object for the most discerning audiophiles. This highly anticipated Mark II from the renowned L-505 series brings with it unprecedented refinement, thanks to the fusion of proprietary technologies such as Version 4.0 ODNF and LECUA, ensuring an authentic, uncompromising audio experience.

It offers high-level performance with a rated power of 100W + 100W (8Ω) and 150W + 150W (4Ω). It has multiple input options with sensitivity and impedance suitable for PHONO (MM) and PHONO (MC), LINE, BAL.LINE, and MAIN-IN. The frequency response ranges from 20Hz to 20kHz for PHONO and from 20Hz to 100kHz for LINE. Total harmonic distortion is less than 0.009% (8Ω, 1kHz) and 0.09% (8Ω, 20Hz to 20kHz), while the signal-to-noise ratio varies between 75dB and 104dB depending on the input. Volume control is handled by LECUA, and amplification is supported by ODNF 4.0 technology. The output configuration is bipolar push-pull with a damping factor of 210. The amplifier is designed to easily manage tone control with a ±8dB adjustment at 100Hz for the bass and ±8dB at 10kHz for the treble. It is powered by 230V~(50Hz) / 115V~(60Hz) and consumes 270W in operation and 0.4W in standby. With a large front panel and overall dimensions of 440(W) x 178(H) x 454(D) mm, and a net weight of 22.5 kg, it is an ideal option for high-fidelity enthusiasts. The amplifier comes with a remote control (RA-17A), power cable, and supported speaker terminals with appropriate Y-lug sizes. The combination of power, precision, and functionality makes the Luxman L-505uXII a true masterpiece for music lovers, one of the most esteemed and prestigious products in the hi-fi landscape.

It also offers a variety of cutting-edge functions for easy and immediate use. It features a high-quality phono preamp, compatible with MM and MC cartridges, allowing you to enjoy your vinyl collection to the fullest. This model provides all the features that a high-quality pre-main amplifier should have, such as bass/treble tone control, L/R balance adjustment using LECUA, pre/main separation function, high-precision volume control, and a headphone output, just to name a few. The listening experience with the L-505uXII is highly versatile and satisfying for any high-fidelity enthusiast.

The careful selection of components is crucial to the sound quality of the L-505uXII amplifier. OFC cables are used for internal wiring, ensuring natural signal transmission thanks to spiral shielding on each unplated wire core. Additionally, a high-quality input selector IC is used to enhance separation and eliminate interference. The Luxman L-505uXII is assembled with custom components designed to achieve high sound quality, such as the speaker terminals arranged in a line for easier connection of speaker cables. The result is an immersive listening experience, true to sonic fidelity.
