Since I am having some troubles and need to open her up, I thought it time to post a few pic,s

Very robustly built, with the characteristic cast rear honeycomb heat sinks.
Dual mono construction with toroidal transformers, and an overall quality build.

The M-4000 dates to 1976 and was a spin off of the M-6000, which was built to commemorate Luxmans 50th anniversary. (if I recall correctly)

Nice..Those speaker binding posts look like a PITA or are they a push in type of connector/clip.
 
Good catch their avionic, If there were a nomination for a great piece with the worst speaker posts I nominate this one.

I sat there yesterday, and for the life of me could not understand what the guy was thinking!

They are the push in type, but mounted so the wire comes in from the top, not the bottom?

The rest is very well done.
 
Wow, nice layout. One dumb question though: where are the rectifiers at? Probably hiding in plain sight around one of those barrier strips? Just curious. I agree that the speaker terminals are less then ideal, as are the fuse locations. If I had one, I would not complain though:thmbsp: That would be like griping about the trunk space on a Shelby Cobra.:yes::thmbsp:
 
That is a great looking amp....trannies look like the ones they used on their tube amps...
 
That amp topped my most wanted list in the 70's. It's guts are even better looking than it's drop dead outsides.
 
Yes Tim de Paravicini is an interesting anomaly, having been invited to
take part in the design of products for the traditionally "members only"
Japanese. And this, in the mid to later 70,s.
