Oh, not the spontaneous twin drive! I never understood what they meant by that? 2 channels of output? Kidding.
I have the NS670 and YP211. They both sound great. Have you recapped the crossovers in your 670's? I'm going to in the next month.My only system: 1976-1978 trifecta of Yamaha CA-1010, NS-670, YP-511
With 1990 thrown in: NS-1 Classics, YST-SW500
May not have s/n, SINAD, flat frequency chart topping specs but it can time travel!
I always smile putting on an album my parents bought in the 70’s because it sounds as if they never stopped playing their music 45+ years later….one very long listening session.

Please share! No rules here, but pictures are strongly encouraged! I'm not even sure what is and is not classic.Even though I intensively use ACCUPHASE E-460, YAMAHA A-S3000, SONY TA-A1ES and YAMAHA A-S301 in my DSP-based multichannel multi-SP-driver multi-amplifier fully active stereo audio project (ref. here for the latest setup), I assume they are not categorized as "Classic Integrated Amplifiers", and therefore I hesitate sharing the photos here on this thread.
I also had LUXMAN L-530, but it has gone to used market after I purchased ACCUPHASE E-460.
I will share the photos only if OP @MAB would be interested in seeing them.
Thanks so much for this post, and the history! The little integrated is beautiful, and the console system is gorgeous.Classic for Sweden anyway. Integrated amplifier Luxor 7082A. I have one.

I have the 7082A due to the fact that the company that made them was located 30 kilometers from where I live. A bit of a hometown feel, sort of. To have it that is.

Luxor was a company that produced,among other things, sound/audio-related products for the people. Focus on products that were affordable, they were produced for the masses, not exactly "fine" HiFi. But sometimes Luxor created slightly better stuff (style and/or better in terms of sound).
The Luxor 7082A is a result of such a drive. Luxor also tested a little more luxurious stuff, for example:

I am considering having my Luxor 7082A amp in my main rig. It will then drive some midrange and/or tweeters drivers. If I do so, I think I'll do a recap on it. Don't know if it's necessary, but the electrolytic capacitors in the power supply part that are starting to approach 50 years old might make sense to replace in any case.I checked the DC offset a while ago and it was good.

Those Yamaha, Sony, and Accuphase are wonderful examples from companies that have given us many incredible integrated amps over the years.
