Dream design and top technology have always been at the forefront for the premium manufacturer from Japan.
For its 100th anniversary, Luxman presents the P-100 Centennial, a handcrafted high-end headphone amplifier that sets audiophile standards. With a price of 12,990 euros, this masterpiece is aimed at discerning music lovers who expect the highest sound fidelity and precision.
The new Luxman P-100 Centennial, an exclusive headphone amplifier for the 100th company anniversary, is equipped with the innovative LIFES Amplifier Circuit equipped. This unique feedback technology is the heart of the new Luxman generation and is expected to be used in further high-end models in the future.
With an output power of 4 W + 4 W (unbalanced at 8 Ω) or 8 W + 8 W (balanced at 16 Ω) the P-100 offers impressive dynamics. It delivers the same spatially open sound, fine detail reproduction, and sonic power as the flagship power amplifier model. Luxman M-10XThis is made possible by a particularly powerful power supply with completely separated channels – from the power transformers through the voltage regulators to the block capacitors.
For maximum flexibility, the P-100 supports different headphone characteristics from around the world. Several operating modes are available – including Parallel operation,BTL (Bridge-Tied Load) and Mass-independent mode, which can be flexibly combined from the four integrated amplifier circuits.
As a special highlight, the amplifier can even be used in mono operation with two P-100 Centennial devices can be used, with an ultimate parallel BTL setup of a total of eight amplifier circuits can be realized - a solution for uncompromising high-end applications. Thanks to its modular architecture, the P-100 is also well-equipped for future, yet unknown high-end headphones.
In addition to the proven features, the amplifier offers an advanced, high-precision volume control: The LECUA-EX attenuator technology allows 200 finely stepped level changes in 0.5 dB increments. This is complemented by a pleasantly stiff volume control, a precise rotary encoder, a large 3-digit LED display as well as a VOLUME LIMIT function, which protects the hearing from excessive volume.
The design emphasizes the premium character: A highly rigid housing with a particularly thick base plate, an enlarged housing volume for material damping, as well as an elegant cover with hairline finish and an exclusive “CENTENNIAL” nameplate make the P-100 a true collector's item.
The Luxman P-100 Centennial is not just a technical masterpiece - it is an emotional statement for all who want to elevate direct listening through headphones to an art form. An anniversary model with outstanding sound culture and sovereignty that makes audiophile hearts race.
