I would recommend the Kenwood 7100
simply excellent 60x2
My tech, Ken Bernacky - repaired a faulty turn -on
relay and rebised the ouputs along with a full
clean up - checkup - shouldbe good for another 25 years...
Dual power supplies
discrete power outputs
not unobtanium power packs
works well- sounds great with my Allison 4's
IMHO
NAD - QC gerally poor / lower quality parts
Yamaha -also excellent
Marantz - a little "hard " sounding to my ears
Pioneer -well made 8100 / 9100 but also a little "bright"
HK 402- even better sounding than my Kenwood -if you can find
one in great shape
MAC 5100 - well made - went well with my KLH 6's
but now overpriced -and doesn't like 4 ohm loads
