Japanese Luxman Integrated Amps

I’ve bought 2 from Japan: 505, 550.

buy a quality converter. I sold the 505 within a day of posting. Luxman America will not service Japanese products. George Meyer in LA, California will though.

a new 550 axII cost $6500 + tax compared to ~$35-3800 Japanese + import fees.

beautiful amps. 
be aware of service issues and know your options.

Good information.

Thank you all for those very thoughtful comments. This has to be the most civil forums I’ve ever been on!

Which integrated are you looking at?  

I'm with others, buy a US spec version and you'll be better off in the long run.
