Best stereo recievers of the 1970's?

I remember walking in to my local Hi Fi shop and looking at the line ups of
recievers.Pioneer,,Jvc,Sansui,Kenwood,Luxman.I loved the Sansui 9090 db
but when I heard the Luxman (don't remember the model number) in the late 70's it was the best I've ever heard at the time.

I have still have a Marantz 2215B hooked up to my DQ-10s as a computer speaker set-up. Sounds great!

For refined sound for not a lot of money, my vote is for Harmon Kardon. That said, I actually owned Onkyo gear back then. I liked their very good FM Tuner section.

I 2nd the Harman/Kardon x30 models(430,730,930). Excellent build with good power supplies and wonderful FM sections. I recently had a 730 refurbished for my father and he loves it.

PILOT 252 stereo fm RCV solid state. I collect vintage audio and found this amp compared to ALL the others which I own or owned to be the sweetest, cleanest, fastest, best reception etc etc EVER!!! You would place the mac1700, Pioneer, sx828, sx 1250,Marantz, Tandbergs etc in a big pile and light a match. Would take alot to get me to part with this one...

Ditto: Marantz 2270. Has pre out main in and a great tuner section to boot. All around great classic. Actually any of the Marantz 20XX or 22XX of the time period. These were when Sol Marantz was still in charge. I had a Fisher 500C along with a 2270 back then and the 2270 gave up nothing to the Fisher.
