Luxman M-10X

The M-10x is our flagship stereo/mono power amplifier designed to replace the long-running M-900u, first released in 2013. Years in development, M-10x becomes a premier model in our next-generation lineup to celebrate the 100th anniversary of Luxman’s founding in 1925. Superbly crafted and with most outstanding sound quality, the M-10x is destined to satisfy audiophiles and music lover’s with its almost limitless loudspeaker drive capability. Original Luxman amplifier design hallmarks, such as ODNF circuitry were carefully analyzed and then further evolved through extensive computer simulations to achieve a radical improvement in audio performance. Only after repeated new circuit components auditioning and prototype listening tests were the results judged suitable for adoption as “LIFES1.0” in Luxman’s new M-10x. A three dimensional chassis housing design, in common with the D-10x is featured. Improved LED backlit analog level (VU) meters are employed with the left channel meter exactly centered for BTL-mono use priority. Equipped with 12 volt trigger input/output connections to daisy chain multiple amplifiers in a home theater or enable convenient integration into automated systems. Luxman designers have examined, tested, auditioned and refined every aspect of the M-10X power amplifier. • Power linearity from 150 W + 150 W (8 ohms) to an instantaneous maximum 1,200 W + 1,200 W (1 ohm) to drive the widest range of speaker types • Pure class A operation up to 12 W with a bias current setting that successfully balances high output power and detailed sound quality • New LUXMAN Integrated Feedback Engine System (LIFES1.0) achieves the ideal balance between low distortion and effortless musicality • 4×2 output configuration incorporates 3-stage Darlington equipped quadruple paralleled push-pull output modules • Extra-thick oxygen-free copper bus bar provides the main line from the power section to the output stage • Balanced transformer-less (BTL) straight circuit configuration does not pass the conversion amplifier to the cold signal for BTL mode balanced inputs • Strictly regulated, high coupling, low loss EI type power transformer with flat copper windings • Highly stable power supply with independent 80,000 μF filter capacitors for each channel • All circuit boards feature gold plated, low resistance 100 μm thick copper signal traces • Peel-coat type removable circuit board solder mask eliminates dielectric effects causing subtle degradations in sound quality • Achieves a damping factor of 710 by directly connecting large speaker relays via 4-contact parallel connection and a bus bar to the speaker terminal • Composite, loopless chassis isolates the effect of ground impedance • Chassis shielding blocks magnetic fields influence and digital noise • High-grade alloy RCA input terminals combine the conductivity of copper with the durability of brass • New trigger input/output terminals enable power supply syncing between compatible products (3.5 mm monaural jack with daisy chain connection also possible)
