Japanese audio manufacturer Luxman has introduced the B-100 Centennial (B-100C) monoblock power amplifier to celebrate the brand's 100th anniversary. This is the company's first model of its kind in 20 years. The new amplifier combines Class A and Class AB amplification technologies, delivering high power output without excessive heat generation or energy consumption.

Japanese company Luxman has introduced the flagship B-100 CENTENNIAL power amplifier, created to mark the brand’s 100th anniversary. The monoblock model sits at the top of the Centennial anniversary series and is designed to drive demanding loudspeakers, including models with low or unstable impedance. Sales through Luxman’s authorised dealer network are scheduled to begin in September 2026.

The Japanese company Luxman has turned one hundred years old. To mark the occasion, the firm has introduced two new flagship models created as a modern reference pair, combining a century of analog and digital engineering experience. The new Luxman D-100c (SA)CD player and Luxman L-100c integrated amplifier form the foundation of the Luxman 100 Centennial Series, which celebrates the brand’s origins in 1925 while also reaffirming its long-standing pursuit of perfection rather than a chase for novelty.

Part I of this comparison covers our assessment of the thirteen finest current integrated amplifiers in this price bracket. This second and final part of the premium integrated amplifier guide addresses practical application - from loudspeaker pairing recommendations to specification matrices and the final rankings.

Integrated amplifiers in the $8,000 to $22,000 range represent the final frontier of High-End audio before the commitment to fully separates-based amplification. This sector offers outstanding flexibility and ergonomics alongside genuinely exceptional sound quality. To navigate the considerable wealth of choice - and there are a great many models competing in this space - we have compiled a survey of thirteen of the finest currently available. Part I presents our assessment of each candidate; Part II will be devoted to detailed selection guidance and the final rankings.

A high-quality integrated amplifier occupies the critical position between upper Hi-Fi and entry-level High-End - and it is precisely the $4,000 to $30,000 price bracket that attracts the most intense audiophile attention. Here we are not yet paying astronomical sums for incremental sonic gains, and we are not committing to a multi-box approach with monoblocks and a separate preamplifier. We are getting outstanding results from a single integrated component. Today's integrated amplifiers incorporate a wealth of advanced engineering and are genuinely capable of surprising even seasoned listeners. To help navigate the options, we have assembled a global ranking of fifteen of the finest available - something for every taste.

For its centennial anniversary, Luxman has released a limited edition of the fully balanced audiophile headphone amplifier Luxman P-100 Centennial.
