Willmax Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 Item Condition: Excellent Shipping Options: Shipping is available at agreed cost. Suburb or Town: Adelaide State: SA Payment Method: EFT, PPF, Cash on Pickup Reason for selling: NLR Further information: This classic Luxman integrated amp runs in Class A all the way, never tarnishing the audio with Class AB operation, one can tell by the absolutely smooth and beautiful sound it creates. It has dual phono inputs, MM/MC with different loading options. With the L-560 one can choose to bypass all filtering and balance controls by using CD/Phono direct OR still have the option to insert Tone Controls in the audio path should you want to, even with Direct enabled. The L-560 also has an extra Line and Tape Input on the front panel for added convenience. The L-560 is basically the same as the L-550 with a slightly shinier golden finish, an uprated power supply and some other improvements and variations. This amp was serviced once about 3 years ago and has never skipped a beat ever since. It is a 100v unit which will require a step down transformer. It will be be double boxed for safe shipping if required to go interstate.

Green messiah Posted May 31, 2021 Share Posted May 31, 2021 I have had one of its predecessors -the 530- for about 10 years. I'm very fond of it -it's appearance nearly as much as it's sonic ability. The 560 is a step up in quality so I'm sure would sit well in anyone's set up! Happy selling. Whoever buys is getting a classy bit of gear! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

psychometrics1 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 I have happily heard this combo - lovely. Unless you have very inefficient speakers the amp is very musical and versatile. Buy with confiidence 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willmax Posted June 8, 2021 Author Share Posted June 8, 2021 (edited) In response to queries I've had via PM regarding speaker pairing/suitability. The Luxman L-560 has driven all of the speaker I've thrown at it with incredible composure and produced delightful music every single time, I never once felt that it was lacking in power, current or SPL, there was always plenty power on tap. The sound is incredibly smooth with a velvet midrange that is on the warm side of neutral, good clarity up top and reasonable heft in the bottom end. The following are some of the speakers I've used with this amp over time in no particular order: 8 Ohms x sensitivity: Yamaha NS-1000 and NS-1000m - 90dB Yamaha NS-690 mkiii - 90dB Tannoy Arden, Berkeley - 91dB Tannoy Cheviot - 91dB Tannoy Arundel DC386 - 92dB B&W DM601 S3 - 88dB B&W DM640i - 91dB 4 Ohms x sensitivity: Dynaudio Audience 70 - 87dB KEF 104/2 - 92dB Edited June 8, 2021 by Willmax Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
