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

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.

Don't forget an antenna. Not just a wire hanging behind the unit.

The Naks were good, the NAD Monitor series were good, etc. 

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

+1 on the NAD Monitor series.  They had a pretty good tuner in them.

those speakers are very low efficiency, so consider desired volume before picking your amp's power wpc

General Description: 2-way bookshelf speaker

Treble Driver: 25mm fabric dome

you will hear the speakers, no big difference from any decent amp, so go for enough power and features, ease of operation, looks.

hook those speakers to an existing system, see if you really still like them.
