The Luxman MQ-88uC is a vacuum-tube stereo power amplifier with a Mullard-type driver circuit and KT88 output tubes operated in triode connection. It delivers 25 watts per channel into 4, 8, or 16 ohms, with Luxman OY15-type output transformers and independent speaker terminals for each impedance. The amplifier uses a push-pull output stage and includes ECC83S and ECC82 driver tubes alongside four KT88 tubes.
