OK, I will start this one off with my observation on a couple of TOTL receivers that in my opinion, are not the best sounding in their lineup.
Prime example: Pioneer SX-1980- Awesome to look at, sounds pretty darn good, but I think the SX-1280/1250 and even the SX-1080/50 sound better.
Same with the Sansui 9090DB....I think the 8080 and 7070 sound better as well as the G6700 sounds better than the G9700.
Does anyone have examples of this? I'd like to compile a list. It can be on receivers, amps, tuners, speakers, decks or anything audio.
Thanks,
Phil
