The LUXMAN Laboratory Reference Series components were introduced in 1976. This lineup consisted of the 5C50 preamplifier, 5M21 power amplifier, 5T50 tuner, 5F70 tone control unit, 5G12 equalizer and 5E24 peak level meter. Later a few more components were made to match these units, like the 5L15 integrated amplifier, 5M20 power amplifier, 5T10 tuner or the 5K50 cassette recorder. For housing these units there was also a rack available, the LK5000. The LRS system has carried the separate concept to "an extreme". The preamplifiers have no tone controls, they are provided by the LRS graphic equalizer or separate tone control unit. The power amplifiers were available with or without meters or supplemented by a separate LED peak indicator. The total harmonic and IM distortion of the LRS power amplifiers at rated power is no more than 0.008 per cent while being capable of delivering 100 watts per channel continous power.
