H.E. Pennypacker Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) SOLD Price: $5750 Item Condition: 9/10 Shipping Options: Pickup available but audition is not available.,Pickup available and you can audition. Suburb or Town: Chifley ACT State: Australian Capital Territory Payment Method: Cash on PU/ PayPal (+3% for goods) Reason for selling: Interesting opportunity OS for work Further information: More or less speaks for itself. Class A 30w @ 8ohm/ 60w @ 4ohm and reportedly tested outputting >150w A/B (love more info). Immaculate condition, Australian delivered with all packaging (triple box) remote etc. I have purchased the brass(?) lugs for the RCAs as well, which I will organise to include in the sale. It cost me $300 to ship insured from Melbourne to Canberra as an idea on shipping cost (short drive from Sydney though). We’re moving to a unit in a few months, and I’ll be working OS a bit for the next 6-24 months. The amp is overkill for the speakers I’ll have, and I’ll drop down a bit in power as well (class A people know what I mean - hola current!).

cheekyboy Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 I've had the pleasure to spending some time listening to one of these Luxman amps in a mate's system and it is an exceptionally good amplifier.............highly recommended.

I've noticed that low balls accompany the aging process. Far out the fella that offered $2500 must be getting on: swing low. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ericcklau Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 (edited) I use to own one of this when I first start my hifi setup 3 years ago. Great Amp high detail sound, very good for bookshelf speakers. Edited March 13, 2020 by Ericcklau 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rantan Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 Simply superb amplifier and worth every cent. As for low ballers, this place is becoming Gumtree. I am pleased the OP put them on ignore. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speakers: Hopefully Dali Epicons (bookshelf) from Rubicon 8s (largest towers of the series below), and a SET tube amp. Long story, but moving to a VERy small apartment for a few years because of a career move... so I’ll go endgame quality on very small size for a few years (eg 75DB peaks in a 3 x 3 room).

Thank god for that, I thought it was for low ballers who made it past the front door. Mind you having said that I reckon people who make such insulting offers deserve to get a good scalp massage with such a implement of destruction. Back to normal transmission, stunning amp by the way, GLWTS. cheers, Terry 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RankStranger Posted March 13, 2020 Share Posted March 13, 2020 You could always have a little fun. Agree to sell it to them at their ridiculous price and arrange to "meet" them at "your address." Somewhere glamorous like the Campbellfield Waste Transfer Station or convenient like the top of the Dandenongs or the Canberra equivalent could work. Maybe the middle of the CBD in peak hour (if Canberra had such a thing ) somewhere there’s no parking. Extra points if the rendezvous time is 10pm Saturday night or some equally convenient time. Sorry, mate, it’s the only time I’m available. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies for straying OT, but while the Dali Epicon standmounts are great speakers, they do need a lot of power, and I found they worked best with very beefy solid state amps. When fed with insufficient power they can sound a bit lifeless and lacking bass. So make sure the speaker and amp combination works in your room before committing. In a small room, there are plenty of great small speakers that would work well with SET amps. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
