I Tried The BEST NEW AMP From A 100 Year Old Brand

Added: 2026-05-31

[00:00:00]Luxman has a brand new class A amplifier. We have it right here. We're going to show you more of that, but I first saw it when I was at Expona a few months ago. It was stacked with the new D 100 CD player and a couple other Luxman components along with some Martin speakers. Uh they also have the brand new B100 which is another Centennial mono amplifier. But today we're going to open up and I'm going to show you and you'll hear some customer reviews as well on the new L100 from Luxman. All right. So this morning we're actually doing a little bit of uh moving stuff around. We got to do a demo in a little bit.

[00:00:40]>> So Tom's got the ISO acoustics.

[00:00:43]We're going to put those under the monitors that we have here.

[00:00:48]The gold 200 5Gs. I think I got that right. and uh he wants to hear it on some vinyl.

[00:00:56]>> So I pulled out this dual uh CS618Q.

[00:01:01]Reason being is he has a blue orifine cartridge. So I wanted it to be something that would sound familiar.

[00:01:08]We're going to hook that up with the Yamaha RN2000 because he has an AS71 from Yamaha. Give him the same sound.

[00:01:16]Yeah, the amp's an upgrade, but >> pretty good.

[00:01:18]>> It'll give him the same sound profile with the speakers. So, we've been totally redoing this as we wanted to do for the past couple days. So, I already moved the techniques down right above the parasound. We have the Yamaha RN 2000A.

[00:01:34]And then there is the Dual CS618Q with the Oron Blue. That's a direct drive turntable from Duel. And Tom is getting the speakers ready.

[00:01:49]>> This isn't I haven't really investigated like taking these feet off like the spikes. Can you do that? Have you done that, Lenny?

[00:01:57]>> No, I just put them under the spikes >> because you probably can. There's a better way to do this where you can actually get these threaded and attached. But we are just going to really quickly Sorry, Allesians.

[00:02:09]>> Let's give myself >> Yeah, I find I don't usually do that. I usually with the spikes the way the new Neos are, I just put the spikes in them.

[00:02:16]Yeah, but you know for setting things up and you do want the iso acoustic facing forward for setting things up having it attached like it just makes it so much easier.

[00:02:26]>> Well, in a normal >> I could have just popped this down >> in a normal scenario where you're not changing things out 10 times a week.

[00:02:35]>> Makes total sense.

[00:02:36]>> You should just have iso acoustic and all of our speakers. You'll see like the suspension gets a little wobbly like you kind of have to >> this side first. I can come hold it for you.

[00:02:47]>> I'm professional.

[00:02:50]But you know, some sometimes you have to kind of get them sitting on them right because they'll weigh them down unevenly.

[00:03:00]See, these are all just all smooshed up.

[00:03:03]>> Oh yeah.

[00:03:03]>> So you got to kind of give it some of that. That's basically it. Today we are opening up the brand new Luxman L100B, the 20 watt class Amplifier.

[00:03:16]It's brand new. But first, we're going to have to take out this L505Z, which was the one that we were giving away these past couple months because we have a winner. Tom, I'm going to move this real airship box here.

[00:03:33]>> I will. I'm just going to put it right here. I'll hook it up to cuz with that being gone. Well, now we got the Okay.

[00:03:39]Okay.

[00:03:39]>> Oh, we're going to have to hook it up to something else. Okay. We have one of the new Re PL1 subs. If you guys haven't seen these subs, they are like this thick and they sit against the wall or they can sit on the wall. So, we can't wait to show you guys those. But, they come with the wireless kit. So, it's like easy wife factor sub approval here.

[00:04:01]Wood grills you can get for them and a stand. Really cool stuff. So anyway, we got one of those. We'll show you that later.

[00:04:09]But we got to get this 505 boxed up. So I have to unhook it, which means I should probably turn the volume down.

[00:04:17]>> Now everybody's watching, so you actually >> and power it off instead of just ripping the plug out, >> which you don't do.

[00:04:23]>> Yeah. What you don't do is just start unhooking wires and letting it fly all over the place.

[00:04:28]>> U so that we can put the class A amp here. So I'm going to do that. I don't know what's plugged into what, but we'll figure it out. I see a bunch of rail stuff plugged in. I don't know what this is.

[00:04:40]>> That's for the Sorry.

[00:04:43]>> Oh, is that hooked to the rail right now?

[00:04:45]>> Yeah. Yeah, but it's turned off.

[00:04:49]We don't do that thing where we >> Where's that coming from?

[00:04:52]>> Oh, it's coming from the kitchen cuz that's going to the sub. You should turn off the wireless box. That's not coming from the uh >> That's That's the subwoofer is the planar is in the kitchen hooked up wirelessly.

[00:05:04]Isn't >> that cool?

[00:05:05]>> That is wild.

[00:05:06]>> I was like, "Oh, the speaker is going.

[00:05:08]What's going on?"

[00:05:08]>> Secret subwoofer in the store.

[00:05:11]>> So, I have to go find the box. Uh we can't take you in the kitchen though because that's where the re is and we're not going to show it to you yet.

[00:05:18]>> This is the warehouse.

[00:05:21]>> Trying to find that box. So, we just we look for the Luxman stuff and then it's like a process of elimination. But I don't see it. We can move some. There's the new rail box right there. Look how Look at that. You fit the whole sub in that box, >> which is kind of crazy.

[00:05:37]>> Uh oh, there it is.

[00:05:41]>> It's It's all the way at the bottom.

[00:05:44]>> So, we got to get to that and then we're going to be able to hook up the new one.

[00:05:47]>> Oh, good.

[00:05:47]>> I'm I'm very excited. I honest I didn't get to listen to this out exponent. I mean I you know maybe a little but um not really like I'm going to here but it is amazing. This is Luxman Class A.

[00:06:01]Class A has been my favorite. It changes all the time.

[00:06:06]You know I'll be like I'm a base head. I like solid state. I'm being very careful with this. Don't mind me. And then I'm like dude tubes are just the way. But then it's just too much. Honestly, I've been using an Ever Solo Z10 as a preamp and I've really been enjoying that. But class A amps, I like class A. The class A parasounds are some of my favorite amps.

[00:06:30]>> Yep.

[00:06:33]I mean, they're probably my Yeah, >> you're really taking your time. These guys are getting anxious.

[00:06:38]>> Well, you know, it's a Luxman.

[00:06:42]>> It's a Luxman.

[00:06:43]>> Well, as I stab it, opening it.

[00:06:47]Okay, guess what, guys?

[00:06:51]More >> more cardboard. Well, it does have the 100th anniversary sticker. Yes, this is right there.

[00:06:59]>> L100 Centennial. So, this guy's 20 watts.

[00:07:03]>> 20 watts class A.

[00:07:04]>> All class A.

[00:07:05]>> Yep.

[00:07:08]>> Actually, you know, if you get into like a JC1 Plus from Parasound, I think those are like 24 watts of all class A plus.

[00:07:14]>> Yeah. I mean, like, it doesn't sound like a lot, but it is.

[00:07:18]>> It's plenty.

[00:07:20]>> We were checking out an 8watt class A amp the other day, and it was great. Absolutely great. Now, if you're looking for like crushing bass, and you know, that's that's a different story, but for most people, just listen to some music, this is plenty. It'll sound so good.

[00:07:41]So, what comes in it? Luxman L100. There is Hold on. I love these. It's like two halves.

[00:07:51]So, we're getting there. Oh, dude. You want to check out the remote?

[00:07:54]>> Yeah, >> cuz these are always a little different.

[00:07:57]I don't know. I think this is one of the thinner ones.

[00:08:01]>> No. Same remote you would get with your 507.

[00:08:06]Is it >> 505?

[00:08:07]>> Yep. Yep. Yep. And 509 would >> Oh, that reminds me. I didn't pack up the remote for Robert.

[00:08:13]>> I was just thinking about that.

[00:08:15]>> We do that all the time.

[00:08:18]>> It's like not the first time today.

[00:08:20]>> We finished packing something like, "Well, that was supposed to be a thing."

[00:08:22]>> I was packing a music hall over there and I like forgot the RCAs. Then I forgot the power supply. Then I forgot the tone arm weight that I pulled off.

[00:08:32]So that is like five layers of tape.

[00:08:34]I was going to have a couple more. So, okay. Here's the pamphlet. Now I wonder we should compare this because I forget that you know these were nice pamphlets that came with the 100th anniversary set.

[00:08:49]>> Yeah. So this is a letter from the president of Lux.

[00:08:55]>> I think this is the same letter.

[00:08:57]>> Yeah.

[00:09:00]>> Talks about the history of Luxman a little bit and uh just thanking people.

[00:09:05]>> Yeah.

[00:09:06]>> For buying one of the new products.

[00:09:08]Those Japanese companies are really just they're so just passionate. We were just talking about Nintendo the other day.

[00:09:15]>> Yeah, man.

[00:09:16]>> And just how much they put into everything. And you know, so that's cool.

[00:09:23]>> All right. You want to put it on the counter so we can show them what it looks like? I think >> it's going to be heavy.

[00:09:28]>> It is going to be heavy.

[00:09:31]Okay.

[00:09:33]It is heavy.

[00:09:43]Okay.

[00:09:46]All right.

[00:09:48]I got the front here.

[00:09:49]>> You got the front.

[00:09:52]>> Set up this reveal.

[00:09:55]Oh my gosh. You can just tilt it. It's like it's dense.

[00:10:02]Okay.

[00:10:04]Ready?

[00:10:08]Let's see it.

[00:10:10]>> Oh, yeah.

[00:10:12]>> That's actually crazy.

[00:10:16]>> Very similar.

[00:10:18]>> So, I've only known the pure white VUS.

[00:10:22]>> Yeah. And so, not only does it have the other color of the VUS, but it has the control knobs of the 707, not the 505.

[00:10:30]And they are >> 507.

[00:10:32]>> What did I say?

[00:10:33]>> 707. You're thinking Power Quest. Yeah.

[00:10:35]So, so yeah, the uh it has the control knobs of the 507, but they're also a little shinier, which is very cool.

[00:10:45]Oh, yeah.

[00:10:47]>> So, the front kind of does have a different look. Get some ASMR. You know how they do that? Like, you know, with microphones, you do the gain, you just turn the gain way up.

[00:10:56]>> You just want me to film ASMR videos now?

[00:10:59]>> I don't know if I'm comfortable with that.

[00:11:02]Let's plug it in and see what it looks like. So, we plug it up here. Maybe we take a look. Let's pull those side covers off.

[00:11:07]>> Yeah, that if you're repacking your Luxman, you might not really pay attention when you first get it. And then if you're boxing up later, you think, "Oh, these go on the front and back." They do not.

[00:11:16]Protects the volume knobs.

[00:11:19]These side panels.

[00:11:22]Oh, yeah. The logo looks good. Like the Centennial logo.

[00:11:27]>> Oh, I got to see this actually.

[00:11:36]It's got the little class A red print up there.

[00:11:40]>> Want to see?

[00:11:41]>> Looks good.

[00:11:44]>> Oh yeah, that is nice.

[00:11:48]>> It's very nice. I want to see the back now.

[00:11:50]>> Oh yeah.

[00:11:51]>> Has Let me see what's on the front. So we got all the inputs in the input selector. that badge, power button, separates, moving coil, moving magnet, uh AB speakers or A and B speakers. You have bass treble, balance or bypass that with line straight. You got a mute function and the lua volume control right there, plus some headphone outputs. They have like these rings around here are different. Like just a little >> Oh, yeah. They are >> little ornamentations and >> it's got like little bit of like aluminum maybe around or metal around the outside of the volume knob.

[00:12:29]>> Yeah.

[00:12:31]>> But you still have >> a lot of nice details.

[00:12:33]>> Mhm. It's the smooth edges, the machine work on the top of, you know, this is very similar what you get on a 507, but you know, you got these vents and just the machine work is so perfect. On the back, got two sets of speaker terminals down there. You got the nice Luxman speaker terminals >> and balanced.

[00:12:56]>> Yeah. All the inputs have the little they come with these little like plastic uh noise stopper type things, but with Luxman you're supposed to take all those off.

[00:13:06]>> Yeah.

[00:13:07]>> So, we're going to take all those off.

[00:13:09]You have a nice ground and phono input and then Yeah. two balance inputs over there. So, it really is giving you like a 507 level.

[00:13:22]of what's on there.

[00:13:23]>> Oh, yeah.

[00:13:24]>> Any preamp? Oh, yeah. You said >> preout main in.

[00:13:28]>> So, you can use it as a preamp. You can use it just as an amp.

[00:13:32]>> You know, I've gotten into triggers and they're nice. I have Yeah, I I triggered everything on my rack. I leave my sub on all the time because it doesn't have standby. It's a TX from But I uh the the streamer is the main like the the first out of the trigger system. So, I just do the app, you know, open up the Matrix app. It's a Matrix GT1. And just turn it on. The whole thing turns on.

[00:13:54]>> Dang.

[00:13:54]>> It's actually awesome.

[00:13:55]>> We couldn't do that here. That'd be way too many cables.

[00:13:58]>> Yeah. The triggers are pretty sick. Now, all the inputs are goldplated.

[00:14:05]You couldn't see that with the caps on.

[00:14:06]Maybe you could, but they're all goldplated. So, there's a nice, you know, gold touch throughout the entire back. You got four line ends. uh one that has a better build. Uh which I don't know why that is. Uh maybe that's the one that you're going to put line straight. I'm not actually sure because everything would work on that, you know, bypass, but they do make one with the the upgraded inputs. I I totally I noticed one thing when I you're looking at the uh front panel and the buttons that are there and the controls that are available. And then if you actually look under the VUS, there are little lights for extra controls and they're here on the remote. And so the phono preamp in the Luxman is actually really nice. So you do have moving magnet, moving coil capability. And you have your subsonic filter, kind of like a rumble switch like from Parasound. And then you also have your loudness button, and that is, you know, like the old school, you know, the loudness buttons and switches and all that stuff from back in the day.

[00:15:04]>> That is on here as well, which is really cool. And that that's one of those things where it just kind of moves your speaker drivers with less power so you can, you know, kind of drive your speakers at a lower volume. But that is a vintage thing as well as the uh Did you mention the line straight like the separate and all that? So you can do like >> um you know separate everything and and all that. So just wanted to make sure you didn't miss that.

[00:15:28]>> Good. Good. Yeah, I tried to I tried to cover as much as I could, >> but it's just good looking. And I can't wait to plug it in and see it lit up.

[00:15:35]>> Yeah.

[00:15:36]>> Hopefully we can see it with the the brightness. I mean, it's a little it's a little dark out today.

[00:15:40]>> You can't see that on camera, but >> we're in a uh pretty rainy for days.

[00:15:45]>> So, I'm going to be letting Tom hook all this up any which way he wants, but I am going to request that we keep the Martin Oscar trios hooked up. Uh because I heard the Luxman on the Martins at Expona and it sounded incredible. Such a good pairing. I love the look of these speakers. They are just beautifully done with the wood. Now, in my head, I was like, I'm I'm excited to hear these on the Martins. Oh, yeah. Class A on the Martins will be >> Class A on the Martins is going to sound really good.

[00:16:14]>> Mhm. Cuz these are, you know, it's a very clear and and you got that brother tweeter, but it's got richness, but a very defined, but a very rich mid-range.

[00:16:25]There it is in the set. It's in the set now next to the AcuPase and DBLA and the Parisound.

[00:16:33]All the flagships up here.

[00:16:35]>> Did you make sure to get our winner the 505?

[00:16:40]>> There was a power cord in the box.

[00:16:42]>> Okay.

[00:16:42]>> So, you're good to use that one. Sweet.

[00:16:45]>> All right. Here's the moment of truth.

[00:16:48]We're going to see what it looks like all lit up.

[00:16:52]Tom, are you ready?

[00:16:53]>> Yes.

[00:16:59]Oo, dang.

[00:17:00]>> I love just like the slow like it just it doesn't just snap on the lights like >> Yeah, look at that. Looks really nice.

[00:17:09]The trim work that they did. If you look at the input selector, so the trim work on all the knobs, the trim work on the display here, uh, and the logos. I mean, they did a really good job with how this looks. So sick.

[00:17:26]Now we just got to listen to it. Or >> what what were we doing? The Lux.

[00:17:31]>> We were just We were just talking about the L100. We were just talking about JBL.

[00:17:36]>> This is like the JBL's. That's fair.

[00:17:39]>> So we were setting up the L100, which is why I called it JBL a minute ago because I'm just thinking L100.

[00:17:45]>> Oh, no. Actually, that makes sense. I shouldn't have gave you any. And uh we were setting up the Luxman L100 and Jared came in and he was he was sporting some merch which is so cool.

[00:17:55]>> Yeah.

[00:17:56]>> He brought some whiskey which is also very cool. Uh but he got to help us get that initial listening time in on the Luxman. So we got we got to see what he thinks about this. Right man, >> it's pretty amazing. So Jared uh they they uh came by the store and we had just unboxed the L100 and I kind of had like a little listening session myself and then you know it's perfect day for you to come by cuz I'm like dude we got this brand new all 100. It's not broken in at all but it's still pretty nice.

[00:18:24]>> I played some of my favorite test tracks and yes pretty amazing.

[00:18:28]>> So I stole all those. I'm adding them to my demo playlist because they were all great.

[00:18:31]>> Uh but you have you got a bunch of vintage gear and you've got some KH Model Fives. Um, you know, you have like a nice system, but what did you think about hearing brand new Luxman with, you know, class A? It's 20 watts, class A, all brand new, all state of the yard, super low noise floor, all that kind of stuff. So, >> it's it's definitely next level over what I have. I have a good system, but it's definitely next level. Uh, it sounds I would say kind of tube- like in that the the way the transients and and the just the reverberation, it just sounds like the instruments are in the room.

[00:19:07]>> Do you mess around with tubes at all?

[00:19:08]>> Yes.

[00:19:09]>> See, I try to, but I just it never it never ends. I always get out of it. Like once I'm in it for a little bit, I'm like, I need to take a break from this.

[00:19:18]And that class A has been my favorite because it's just such a sweet spot in terms of >> you get like the zero distortion from like solid state, >> right?

[00:19:27]>> But like just the chunky and that weight >> dimensional.

[00:19:31]>> Yes, dimensional is good.

[00:19:33]>> Yeah. When I say tube black, I don't I don't mean warm and rolled off. It's dimensional.

[00:19:37]>> That presentation >> like you can touch it. You can touch the sound. It feels like >> Yeah.

[00:19:41]>> Very nice.

[00:19:42]>> And that wasn't the only thing you listened to though. We we were over here because we just kind of reset this a little bit today. Yeah, this system sound really nice, too.

[00:19:50]>> And you did what? What did you listen to over here? The MFI source points.

[00:19:53]>> This is the Mofi Source Points, the eights. And we were powering it with the Yamaha, the RN 2000A.

[00:19:58]>> How was that?

[00:19:59]>> Very nice.

[00:20:00]>> Yeah, this actually came together really well. I mean, ever solo can get a little bright. Yamaha can be a little synergistic, but when it all comes together, it's great. And this definitely was an example of that.

[00:20:09]>> Yeah, very impressive.

[00:20:10]>> Well, I hope you enjoyed your time.

[00:20:12]>> I did.

[00:20:12]>> Tell everybody they should get down here. Hey, it's it's even better in person. If you like the channel, you should come in and see the guys and and hear what the stuff sounds like in person because it's pretty amazing.

[00:20:23]>> Nice.

[00:20:24]>> Awesome. Well, thank you for coming out.

[00:20:25]It was great seeing you. I appreciate I hope the weather gets better >> over the next day or two. So, when you go up and you you get to see the Phillies, >> go fight, >> right? Yep.

[00:20:35]>> Right. So, the the Philly fanatic, you know, I could have did that. I think I would have been pretty good as the Philly fanatic. great sports mascot, >> right? Hey, if this if this doesn't work out, I know I can be a sports mascot if YouTube if people stop watching me, but don't don't do that. Uh, but this was this was really cool to get to break in a new piece of Luxman gear with a great guest. So, we thank you for coming about 6 hours >> to come visit us. All right, we're at the top 18 in the eliminator for the Luxman giveaway. We got 18 people left.

[00:21:07]This was elimination style. Miles S.

[00:21:11]John Z. Greg B, Vila A, John F, Jerry H, Daniel V, Robert K, Sebastian P, Shaun E, Keith T, Kelly G, Jeff N, Derek S., David H, Larry I, Drew B, and William R.

[00:21:31]So this is it. This is the eliminator.

[00:21:34]>> Dang.

[00:21:35]>> Gonna see who gets eliminated first here. So, how this is going to work is every time it lands on a name, that person is eliminated until we only have one person left, and that is the winner of the Luxman 505 that we have. Is it behind you? It's right there. The Luxman 505. That one, that exact unit right there off the shelf. It's being given away. So, thanks to Luxman. Uh, and we appreciate everybody who entered.

[00:22:01]Hopefully, we'll have another giveaway soon. But, let's get to this. Tom, you ready? We'll take turns maybe doing this thing. I'm gonna do the first one. I'm sorry for the person that is about to be eliminated.

[00:22:15]>> Oh, man.

[00:22:16]>> How about Kelly G?

[00:22:19]>> You guys, you guys pick. Oh, that just skipped over Kelly G. Keith T has been eliminated. I'm so sorry, Keith. I'm gonna let Tom or Spencer do the next one. Just uh hit the button there, Spence. Just >> All right, let's go. You know, I'm rooting for Larry. Let's go, Larry.

[00:22:35]We'll see.

[00:22:36]>> To not get eliminated.

[00:22:37]>> To not get eliminated. Okay. Yeah. Don't Don't vote. Don't hope that everybody gets eliminated. Everybody. Oh. Oh, dude. That was so close to Larry >> right there. All right, Tom.

[00:22:48]>> Sorry, Drew.
