• The Luxman Laboratory Reference series had their debut in 1976.
• Highlights were the first Real Time Processed DC amplifier and the first synthesizer tuner.
• Other components of the Laboratory Reference Series were, in addition to the 5M-21 power amplifier, the 5G-12 Graphic Equalizer, the 5F-70 Parametric tone controller and the 5E-24 LED level indicator unit.
• In 1977 and 1978, the Luxman Laboratory Reference series was expanded to include the following devices: The 5L-15 integrated amplifier, the 5M-20 power amplifier without VU meter as well as a cheaper tuner, the 5T-10 and the cassette Tape Deck 5K-50. The latter was probably purchased from a third-party manufacturer.
• The functionality, performance and innovative design made the series unique and unmistakable.
• distinguishing features were:
  • the first DC-amplifier and Tuner in the world
  • computer-controlled cassette deck
  • Stackable components (the 4 device feet had device corresponding recesses at below)
