Stereo Receivers from the past...


Perhaps a useless question, but even though I am not a politician I have the right to be useless sometimes! 
In thinking about a second bedroom system...If I were to use a receiver any toughts on good sounding ones you have had.  The best I have had, in the past, were the original Magnum Dynalab 208 and the Nakamichi SR-3a.  I had sold both.  But now with thinking of a bedroom system those do come to mind, but wondering if you have experienced a stereo receiver that you feel is better.  I am not much into compressed streaming but do enjoy a local/public classic Jazz station and the Jazz and female vocals music I own.   Thanks

I had a sweet sounding 20 watt Pioneer long ago,1975 I think.I kick myself now for giving it away.
Dating myself a bit, but I had a Harman Kardon 730 (Twin Powered).  Incredible sound, surprising headroom, and a great tuner for its time.  
I recently got the vintage receiver bug, mostly Sansui's.

Check out Sansui 5000X, Sansui Eight/Eight Deluxe, Sansui 8080/9090... these were all TOTL for their time and sound amazing.


I still have my TOTL at the time Sansui AU9500 from 1973.  A monster of a piece of equipment.  Had the caps replaced a few years back but never listened to it.  A great integrated.  Still have the JVC separate tuner also.
