he should look for a new Mcintosh integrated, the 7100 is a small mc, it doesn't have the tranny they're famous for. And the 2002 is vintage, with the vintage Mc sound.
But I can't see how he could go wrong with a newer Mcintosh integrated or pre/power combo...

or an accuphase, a used one, a 210 or a 211 or so...

For the Luxman, it would be a really good amp (and I've heard one of their integrateds), but unfortunately, their entry model already costs 2k in Japan (country of origin), so I expect the prizes in other countries to be even higher...

Keep them spinning,
