Other Notes: "Other amplifiers have been designed with various hybrid circuit configurations, but the Luxman Brid is a combination we had not previously encountered-its vacuum tubes follow the field-effect-transistor (FET) low-level stage and drive the power-MOSFET output stages. According to Luxman, the 6CG7 twin-triode tubes used in the LV-105 are more linear than conventional transistor driver stages, and they have greater bandwidth and lower phase shift.

The LV-105 has two power supplies, the larger of which operates its audio transistor stages while the other supplies the voltages for the vacuum-tube stages. When the amplifier is turned off, the tubes go into a standby "pre-heating" mode in which their heaters operate on a reduced voltage (about 80 percent of normal) and their plate voltage is reduced by half.

The Luxman LV-105 is rated to deliver up to 80 watts per channel into 8-ohm loads, from 20 to 20,000 Hz, with no more than 0.3 percent total harmonic distortion. The dynamic power output is given as 200 watts per channel into 4-ohm loads, and it is also rated for 200 watts with 2-ohm loads."
