| Top 5 recievers of the 70's and 80's ???? Hands down the Luxman 1120A. Sorry, but I've either owned or listened to much of what is talked about in the previous posts and for musicality, power, tuner section, phono section, it's Luxman. Still easily valid today against most equipment. | |

| Woofer on top? Many Mission models to include the M70, M71, M72 have this design and sound fine. No hard and fast rules with tweeter placement. | |
