Luxman L-509Z Integrated Amplifier

Hi,

Does anyone know if it's possible to purchase a Luxman L-509Z US version directly in Japan ?

I'm asking because in US this amp costs 12,500 USD. In Japan it costs 7200.

So I'm thinking of just buying directly in Japan if they are able to sell me the US versions.

Thanks!

The 509 draws 130 continuous and 370 peak. If you want to use Paul’s guidelines that’s 1300 watts. Still easy to find under $150

But not having a warranty on a new product made me feel uneasy. Also, you will need to pay import taxes, which is another thing to consider.

Shipped with120volts. The way this amp is built, I was not concerned about any warranty. The new amp was even shipped in quadruple boxes,
