Best stereo recievers of the 1970's?

I remember walking in to my local Hi Fi shop and looking at the line ups of
recievers.Pioneer,,Jvc,Sansui,Kenwood,Luxman.I loved the Sansui 9090 db
but when I heard the Luxman (don't remember the model number) in the late 70's it was the best I've ever heard at the time.

If we're talking transistors and not tubes, the Luxman was a great name...also Tandberg made a great receiver.

I loved my Sony STR 6400-D. The British mags gave it a good review, and this model was tough to find [back-ordered] for several weeks. Built like a brick s**t-house, it also had a de-emphasis switch for Dolby Encoded FM [never adopted], and never failed to put out less than 110 wpc [rated for 80 wpc] at the annual McIntosh clinics...remember those?!!!

I always like Yamaha and I thought Technics sounded good.
