Brian
you are absolutely 100% on the money in that the S8000 is the hands down,kick ass winner of all three mentioned. So much thought had gone into the sherwood from copper cladding on parts of the chassis, to the buss bar ground,to the 6eu7 tubes used, and to the class they ran the output tubes in, was all SUPERB!!!!.
All anyone has to do is listen to a nice up to snuff,S-8000,and that will end your search for looking for a better receiver. Nuf Said!!
One more receiver I am really fond of is the HK Festival,HK260. Even tho it has a doubler,the layout is very nice and I like the way the controls are mounted away from everything. It always has very very nice iron!!

The MA-230 is the single worst piece of vintage gear that I have ever heard................................... - viridian 13:26:25 03/10/10 (2)

Both the Ma230 and the Mc240 - Michael Samra 03:51:58 03/11/10 (1)

I have no doubt that the amp can be improved; the iron is quite good. nt - viridian 07:48:51 03/11/10 (0)
