I still have my sansui 90/90 running in my garage with bose 901’s. Can piss off the neighbors anytime I want. It’s handy being in the garage as the power supply can double as a welder when needed!
Thinking of trying "vintage" sound just for fun
I'm thinking of picking up a nice Fisher 400, or maybe even a H. H. Scott 299 and hearing what my ears heard decades ago. My speakers are heavily modified Klipschorns (wood Tractrix horns with TAD 2001 drivers, ALK 120 db/octave networks). The sound from these speakers with Sonic Frontiers and Audio Research stuff upstream (SFL-2, SF-D, SFT-1, VT-100) is highly detailed with a lovely soundstage, and percussive wavefronts that will split your skull. An old 'vintage' integrated would be entirely different... and I suspect quite satisfying.
Stay warm everybody!
