Oh guru, what do you suggest. ,Speakers will be 4 Pi with 15 inch JBL woofer, 98+ db efficient

Apply Joppa's Rule to that 98 dB. number! The rule states for a "typical" listening space, an amp/speaker combo should be capable of producing 102 dB. SPL peaks, at a 1 M. distance. 3 WPC meets Mr. Joppa's criteria.
Find 1 of the lower powered models from Pioneer's respected 1970's product lines that has the minimum number of features needed to keep you happy.
Mr. Hardy's remark about something tubed is SPOT ON. With those speakers, a Sherwood receiver that uses 7189 O/P tubes could make your ears bleed and will sound very, very, good at sane listening levels.

Am playing with speakers in the 96db range and am finding all of my higher powered amps and receivers are being bested by the lower powered ones, even those of the same generation and model series. I have had the best luck in the 15-30 watt range and could easily go lower but no longer have anything smaller.
