About the MQ300
The Luxman MQ-300 is a high-end stereo vacuum tube power amplifier inspired by the classic MB-300 from 1984, released to celebrate Luxman's 90th anniversary. It employs a zero-feedback, single-ended circuit with cathode bias, utilizing premium Takatsuki TA-300B direct-heated triodes for output, Tung-Sol 6SN7GTB driver tubes, and Sovtek 5AR4 rectifiers. Designed for high-sensitivity speakers, it delivers the signature 300B triode sound: rich harmonics, natural timbre, spacious imaging, and fatigue-free listening. Features include custom output transformers with orient cut cores, FINEMET chokes for low noise, high-rigidity anti-vibration chassis, and premium copper alloy input terminals. Speaker terminals support 4Ω, 8Ω, and 16Ω loads with Y-lug compatibility. Power-on requires tube warm-up of at least 1 minute.
