Whats your opinion? Tandberg, Pioneer, Macntosh, Nad and possibly Nikko?????

The Concept receivers were very good. 
The Grundig receivers, when match with Grundig speakers are out of this world. 
Fun topic for sure 👍

I’m more of an Integrated collector but do enjoy a Marantz 2330 (restored by Many Moons Audio) that should qualify. 
Beautiful looking single year (1st gen - 1979) production that, I believe, all featured engraved faceplates. Looks particularly snazzy wearing it’s Pathe Wings walnut WC43 cabinet.

Others to consider would be Sansui G8000, Pioneer SX1250, Concept 16.5 & Kyocera R861. The Pioneer because it’s all discrete and AFAIK the only receiver that doubled down power into a 4 ohm load.

Honorable mentions to TwinPower HK units, Sherwood & Sony
