With touch mute and ventilation, so this is an amp, L-100 or L-110. The black ringed selector and volume control lead me to guess L-100, but there were scant few responses on the Yahoo Group about the all silver or black banded knobs when I asked about them, more specifically for the C then the L but it seems to have been a running change in production for both units as the C-1000 has been seen with either.
That is one nice looking Luxman! I bet it sounds real nice!
I purchased a restored CX-100 from a dealer last summer. My research brought me to the same conclusion.The interweb indicates the CX-100 was a 1984 offering. The info out there in cyberspace also talks about a 1983 Alpine purchase of Luxman. I have an RX-103 and the documents I've found do say Alpine but the unit was a 1983 offering so I believe Luxman designed and manufactured this unit as Alpine was taking over.
The MX-100, matching amp for the CX has an OM dated 3-84 and it also says a division of Alpine. But how could Alpine come in and 30 days later have their designs manufactured into products...didn't happen. These X units were Lux design and build with Alpine owning the company.
Did you ever get the M-02?I just added this piece CX-1000....debating if I wanna get a M-02 to go with it...kinda matches.
Better pics of the C-1010 and M-2000
