I would say that's a Private Label built for Luxman by McIntosh. Looks just like an MC444.

Nice find, I've never seen or heard of one either.

at one time I know they had a label of alpine/luxman. dont know if they were affiliated at the corporate level or just had alpine do some work for them.

Lux was sold to Alpine in 84, and I also discovered that Alpine/Luxman owned Mcintosh from the early '90's to '02

So it stands to reason a Luxman amp of that era would be similar to Mc.

Actually it was Clarion that owned McIntosh, not Alpine. Clarion was the reason McIntosh Car Audio was introduced. I forget who owns them now...
