Luxman

Inside the system

Vintage Klipsch loudspeakers are paired with a vintage Luxman amplifier. Exact models are unspecified.

Inside the system

A Reloop RP7000MK2 turntable and Taula 4MR mixer sit alongside a collection of vintage amplification: Harman Kardon HK430, Tandberg TR2060 and Luxman L435. Loudspeaker options include Polk RTA12C, Bose 901 Series 2 and JBL L110. The equipment represents several possible playback combinations. Each speaker family has a different layout and operating requirement, so the collection is best understood as a roster of components rather than one permanently connected chain.

Inside the system

Project Audio’s installation combines Tannoy Westminster Royal-class towers and Super Tweeters with four TPI UC15G units, two beneath each Westminster. Tannoy Autograph Minis provide fill, with Luxman M-10X and 509Z electronics, FFA/NST amplification and DSP crossover and time alignment. Two Technics SL-1200G decks feed an Isonoe 420 rotary mixer. Separate listening stations use an SL-1210MK7, Leak Stereo 130 and Grado SR325x headphones. Townshend Seismic Isolators are used beneath the speaker stacks, linking the large-format loudspeaker arrangement with mechanical isolation.

Inside the system

Two Klipsch La Scala Heritage mains work with four Heresy Heritage IV speakers and two R-121 SW subwoofers. McIntosh C22 and MC152 electronics accompany a Luxman M-02, giving the multi-speaker installation several amplification and control components. Two Technics SL-1210 M5G turntables and a Condesa Carmen V rotary mixer form the vinyl booth. Nakamichi 700 II cassette and Pioneer H-R100 eight-track machines broaden the physical-media collection. Six Douk T4 units and SIVGA SV021 headphones support individual listening, alongside the room system.

Inside the system

Shibuya Hi-Fi assigns a different system to each of its three rooms. The dedicated HiFi room pairs Klipschorns with a Luxman L-505uXii. The bar combines JBL “Heritage 100s,” as described by the venue, with Naim NAC72 and NAP140 electronics. The lounge uses bespoke Cathode Bias / Café Sound loudspeakers with 15-cell horns and dual 15-inch woofers. Technics SL-1200 MK2 decks and a Bozak AR4 rotary also form part of the project. The room-by-room distinctions matter: the custom lounge system is separate from the Klipsch and JBL installations.

Inside the system

Klipsch La Scala loudspeakers work with a Cary Audio SLI-80HS integrated valve amplifier. The source equipment includes Luxman PD-441 turntables and a HiFi Rose RS250A network streamer, with a Varia Instruments RDM20 rotary mixer.

Inside the system

Haruo Nomura built the main loudspeakers, partnered with a McIntosh MC275 VI power amplifier and C22 control amplifier. A separate Tannoy Autograph Mini system uses a McIntosh MA5200. Technics SL-1200G and Luxman PD171A turntables, an Accuphase DP-550 and an Alpha Recording System MODEL-9000 supply playback and mixing.
