Design
For many, the look of the Luxman L-100 Centennial will take them back to what many consider the heyday of amplifier design. The soft silver metal faceplate is home to its vintage design cues:
Large backlit VU meters
Rotary tone and adjustment controls
Large rotary volume and input controls
The warm amber glow of the VU meter lights hints at the technology inside: this is Luxman code for a Class A amplifier. ‘Made in Japan’ still means something, and you’ll feel it when you touch this amplifier: the smooth motion of the rotary controls and the satisfyingly tactile buttons. This isn’t just for show either; the hefty build minimizes internal resonances that would otherwise distort delicate audio signals.
Technology
It may look vintage on the outside, but on the inside the L-100 Centennial is full of cutting-edge Luxman technology. Its pure Class A design puts musicality front and centre. Combined with the latest iteration of Luxman’s LIFES feedback system, you can be sure of an experience that will envelope you and hit all the feels. Every detail has been worked over to deliver the best performance, including the LECUA 1000 volume control, the massive power supply, and even the layout and shape of the traces on the circuit boards. This is attention to detail as only the Japanese can do. This is music, the Japanese way.
Creative Audio Pro Tips
The Luxman L-100 Centennial will sound great right out of the box, but will sound even better after 200 hours of use.
Always keep the top of the amplifier clear to allow for adequate ventilation. Do not place the unit in a closed cabinet.
We always recommend quality cables both from your source(s) as well as to your speakers.
