Best Receiver Ever Made short of the MD-208

If your talking vintage you would have to consider the Sansui Eight Delux deep bass,smooth throught midrange and crystal high's possibly the best sounding sansui ever not as powerfull as it's bigger brothers but sound wise quite the piece of work and has driven any speaker load with ease,for the price of one even if a re-cap is needed dollar for dollar a tough act to follow!

Luxman R-117. Detailed sound that is not harsh. Very accurate. 165 watts per side with plenty of headroom. Build quality good for the era.

To me ( and many others) the best receiver ever made, by anyone!

Decent sound from the Carver stuff ( Mejames ) . But Bob's equipment names had nothing to do with his technology , selling hype only. It's good for a laugh now.
