Luxman L-450

I bought a Luxman L-450 at a flea market today for $10.00. Anyone have any info on it?

Nice little guy!

The Orion sez 1976-80, 55 wpc, and an MSRP $400.
Probably a fine little integrated amp!

More than probably sure for the price it s a nice find 2x55 good watts for 10 bucks.Seems to be in a good shape with his wooden case.how does it sound?

Lucky dawg! I have the pre and the amps from the same line and they are fabulous!

Thanks for the info Bully, it has a very strong power supply for 55 watts with 2 x 10,000 uf caps. It was designed for a turntable, it has a 15hz and 30hz subsonic filter and a selector for MM and MC cartridges. It needed the balance and volume controls cleaned and has been playing fine for the last 3 hours. Oldmarantz, it sounds great, warm sound with a solid low end. It reminds me of my Dads' Luxman M-02,C-02.T-02 system. Thor, I thought the faceplate and case looked like your Luxman Preamp and Amps.
It has jacks on the back for signal processor in and out that can be switch in or out. My guess that these are pre out / main in jacks.

May not be pre-out/main-in jacks. PROBABLY aren't. Just another loop like a tape loop, that happens to be labeled "signal processor". Nice find for $10.

I really like that luxman stuff from the 70's. That was a good find.
