An industry defining debut for our M-10X flagship amplifier.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLooking ahead to the 100th anniversary of our founding in 2025,we have returned to the fundamentals of music playback and have finally achieved a LUXMAN milestone, while still looking toward the future, we present our new generation flagship stereo power amplifier, the M-10X. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe most important innovation is the realization of our new amplification feedback engine “LIFES”, which has been developed and refined through the skillful attention of LUXMAN’s technical team. While based on our traditional ODNF technology, we implemented a fundamental review of the system and every detailfrom the layout down to individual components which all contribute to a rich musicality, full of vitality. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHigh 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAmplified feedback engine that brings music to life LIFES Version 1.0\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLUXMAN will celebrate our 100th anniversary in 2025 and we are proud to announce the successor to our ODNF* feedback circuitry, which has contributed to the audio quality of our amplifier products since 1999. We 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 our 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, we 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOverwhelming power linearity and an instantaneous maximum power output of 1,200W + 1,200W (1Ω)\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe 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. We 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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eThree-dimensional housing design with more pronounced presence\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe M-10X has an authentic front face inherited from our M-900u model and expresses bold and delicate slanted edges between the chassis and the front panel. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAnalog meters that express the dynamics of music\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe front panel, which has a simple yet elegant design features prominent needle-movement analog level meters. The LED lighting effectively illuminates both meter scale plates, for improved visibility from listening positions. Meter positioning is optimized so that the operational left channel meter is exactly centered and given priority when used in BTL (monaural) listening mode. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eHighly regulated transformer\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe power supply section supports the overwhelming power and drivability of the M-10X, with flat copper transformer winding wound tightly to conserve space, reducing line capacitance, improving the coupling force and stabilizing the magnetic field. The EI-type highly regulated power transformer has a large capacity of 1,250VA (instantaneous maximum 2,500VA), we have obtained tremendous regulation performance that does not waver with any load fluctuations. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOriginal custom components\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eEvery component in the circuitry is an important factor that affects the audio performance and musicality of this product.
