Stereo Receivers from the past...


Perhaps a useless question, but even though I am not a politician I have the right to be useless sometimes! 
In thinking about a second bedroom system...If I were to use a receiver any toughts on good sounding ones you have had.  The best I have had, in the past, were the original Magnum Dynalab 208 and the Nakamichi SR-3a.  I had sold both.  But now with thinking of a bedroom system those do come to mind, but wondering if you have experienced a stereo receiver that you feel is better.  I am not much into compressed streaming but do enjoy a local/public classic Jazz station and the Jazz and female vocals music I own.   Thanks

I will be using some two way bookshelf spekers for Quad, I am not remembering the model as they are in storage....is a 1.2 a model? I enjoyed them when I used them in the past.  If I were to let the nostalgia bug bite me the old Tom Holman Advent Receiver would be a possibility, but my sister still has one and the last time I was at her place I was not overly impressed...she was using it with some older small Advents, the 3?.  
If ur looking for a small room system, get any descent receiver, Yamaha, onkyo etc, bookshelf speaks.
  It will sound fine, allow 2 weeks break in for amp and 4 weeks for new speakers.

 My third system is great.  
Yamaha receiver BIC v630’s and a  technics sl1200.  

Which i I use to record my LP’s to my computer to burn on disc.
smlal, inexpensive and a nice 3rd system.
The Naks were good, the NAD Monitor series were good, etc. 

If you had a Nak and liked it, just go get one.
