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 wanted to Luxman R-1120 or 1120 A, but found a Yamaha instead CR-2040 that should be delivered by UPS early next week. Seems a lot of people are interested in receivers of that era and that is reflected in the prices asked. I found a nice Pioneer 85 wpc locally, but I find the asking price a bit steep.

I do think that Luxman and Yamaha were right up there as a whole package, sound and nice design. Sansui and Marantz were ugly as far as I'm concerned. Pioneer were also nice all around.
