Luxman L 116A ()
Overview
The Luxman L-116A is a solid-state stereo integrated amplifier made by Luxman . It was part of a lineup that included the L-114A and L-120A, and appears to have been available only in select markets. This model was produced just before Luxman’s transition linked to Alpine Electronics, making it a brief but notable part of the company's pre-Alpine era.
