Open your mind and experience the true depth of sound. An industry defining debut for Luxman's M-10X flagship amplifier.
Looking ahead to the 100th anniversary of Luxman founded in 2025, they have returned to the fundamentals of music playback and have finally achieved a LUXMAN milestone, while still looking toward the future, Luxman present their 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 traditional ODNF technology, Luxman have 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.
Amplified feedback engine that brings music to life - LIFES Version 1.0
LUXMAN will celebrate their 100th anniversary in 2025 and they are proud to announce the successor to their ODNF* feedback circuitry, which has contributed to the audio quality of their amplifier products since 1999. They have developed a new amplifier feedback circuit, LIFES*, which has acquired realistic, fresh and rich musicality and overwhelming audio performance. LIFES is based on the technical concept of their renowned ODNF circuit and realizes excellent, dynamic characteristics without feeding back any of the original audio input signal to the main amplifier, achieving a remarkably natural sound quality, almost if it were a non-feedback equipped circuit. The design has been conceived and expanded upon from first principles using simulation technology and painstaking research. By repeatedly auditioning, rigorously scrutinizing and combining specially selected components, Luxman have achieved supreme performance characteristics and a level of quality suitable for use in LUXMAN’s next-generation products. This is the birth of the epoch-making amplification feedback engine LIFES Version 1.0, which plays a key role in the amplifier products that will appear in the future, starting with the M-10X, and breathes new life into music.
Overwhelming power linearity and an instantaneous maximum power output of 1,200W + 1,200W (1Ω)
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. Luxman 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.
