Early 80's - late 70's best audio products

My examples are mostly on the bang-for-buck bargain level at the time, but all remain excellent components to this day, yet I have no doubt modern technology has improved on most. Here's a few off the top of my head:

Sansui TU-717 Tuner
Bedini 25/25 Amplifier
Quad ESL 63's (second that one)
Klipsch Heritage Series (not actually a product of that period but probably the apex of their production).
B&K ST-140 Amp
NYAL Moscode products (various amps and preamps during that period - I can't recall all the models I heard back then, but all were quite outstanding to me at the time)
Audible Illusions Preamp (they improved on it since then, but the early ones were great at the time)
AR Turntable (the reissue of the classic version was right around that time - great table for the money)
Grado Cartridges (Joe Grado made a great sounding MM cartridge affordable)

Well, I will second the NYAL MOscode, specifically the 300 power amp, which I paired with a Yamaha C2a pre, which was also a real giant killer full function pre w/full tape dubbing, 2 phono inputs, including an mc step-up, switchable cart loading, 2 pairs of outputs, and weighed in at about 25 lbs. Ran in class a if I remember. Still have it. It doesn't compete with my Supratek but works fine.

Forgot one...

Just two years after your end date though...

Quicksilver 8417 Mono amps (I've heard his MX190 was pretty great too, but I've never actually heard one)

B&W DM7 Mark 2 speakers (1979). I have a pair in my second system.

Nakamichi Cassette decks; many tuners of that era are still highly desired today.
