Nakamichi SR versus TA

I have an SR-4A as my main receiver and an SR-3A as my upstairs receiver. My SR-4A appears to have better significant stats than later non-Stasis Nakamichi receivers.

The TA-4A has a higher power rating than the SR-4A and a more complete remote.

My SRs are rock solid. I've read that for the TAs, Nakamichi moved manufacture out of Japan and therefore they are not as solid as SRs.

I've been very happy with my SRs but wondering if it may be worth picking up a TA-4A if one becomes available.

Thank you.

I have been very happy with my SRs. My main system is an SR-4A, Adcom GCD700 and Wharfedale 70th Anniversary speakers. My upstairs system is an SR-3A (which displaced a long loved Rotel RX550), Adcom GCD700 (I like the Adcom 700s), and Boston Acoustic HD9s.

I listen mostly to classical and jazz - rock once in a while.

I just had a TA-4A stolen from my storage unit. My newer Denon does'nt sound as good and now I would like to replace my old Nakamichi. Where was the TA-4A in there line at the time ? Is there a higher end model from that era. (intergrated unit) ?
Thank You

I love my SR-4A but miss the remote; it got stolen. I cannot find a working code on universal remotes and factory cannot supply a replacement. Can any one help or provide guidance? Thanks

I have an SR 3A and a TA 2A. I have found the SA to be more solidly built and less vulnerable to (inadvertant!)jarring and bumping.

My first SR4A started occasionally loosing a channel. So I installed the TA4A I had bought a couple of years ago as back-up.

Right now I am running an SR4A on my main system and the TA4A on my third floor system. I've had both the TA and an SR patched into the same system.

The TA does seem to have more bass though (agreeing with infinitebaffle) I think the SR has a more nuanced sound.
