Open your mind and experience the true depth of sound. An industry defining debut for the Luxman M-10X flagship amplifier. Looking ahead to the company's 100th anniversary in 2025, Luxman have returned to the fundamentals of music playback and have finally achieved a LUXMAN milestone, a new generation flagship stereo power amplifier, the M-10X. The most important innovation is the realization of their new amplification feedback engine “LIFES”, which has been developed and refined through the skillful attention of LUXMAN’s technical team. While based on their traditional ODNF technology, the engineers implemented a fundamental review of the system and every detail from the layout down to individual components which all contribute to a rich musicality, full of vitality. High performance drivability enhances playback through any speaker system. A beautiful chassis housing design, with blasted white finish, is proudly complimented with proper analog meters. This exquisite flagship model, the M-10X, can evoke what we mean by the true depth of sound, marking the beginning of a new era for LUXMAN. Overwhelming Power Linearity The role of the power amplifier is to faithfully amplify the music signal sent from the control amplifier to the output and drive your speakers accurately while fully drawing out the characteristics of those speakers. With “LIFES” installed in the M-10X and by reconstructing the entire circuit, we succeeded in reducing the number of parallel elements while improving performance and reducing distortion during amplification by half. In addition, the redesigned constant voltage circuitry constitutes a highly stable power supply that fully supports the AC and DC power demands. We have adopted a design that can maintain high performance with more stability. The current amplification stage has a 4x2 output configuration that combines two three-stage Darlington circuits and quadruple paralleled push-pull amplifier circuits that handle various load conditions, and instantaneously develops up to 1,200W+1,200W (1Ω) from a rated output of 150W+150W (8Ω). We have achieved complete power linearity up to 1,200W (1Ω). Along with pure class A operation up to 12W with careful bias current setting, it achieves both overwhelming power and sound quality with a sense of density at a high level. Analog Meters The front panel, which has a simple yet elegant design features prominent needle-movement analog level meters. The LED lighting effectively illuminates both meter scale plates, for improved visibility from listening positions. Meter positioning is optimized so that the operational left channel meter is exactly centered and given priority when used in BTL (monaural) listening mode.
