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

That is a good thought.  I worked in the music and audio business at one time..then high-end Scandinavian and Italian modern furniture.  I had a pretty stable system for some time and my new accomidations have me thinking of a bedroom system.  Thanks for the input.  Seems like Audio Research pre/power, the big Magnepans and a couple of high-end sources are, likely, too much for my bedroom...but then again, if I get rid of the chest of drawers and the Hans Wegner rocking chair...they just might....................
I love the Sherwood’s, 60s-1981. I still have my 1981 S9600 CP.  it’s my daily driver. Superb analog tuner, great phono preamp, all discrete components. 95 Watts/ch. 

They fly under the radar, so prices are excellent.
I had a sweet sounding 20 watt Pioneer long ago,1975 I think.I kick myself now for giving it away.
Dating myself a bit, but I had a Harman Kardon 730 (Twin Powered).  Incredible sound, surprising headroom, and a great tuner for its time.
