RE: Dave,

76.121.39.16

I am a fan of the early 70's Sony. I have STR 6055 reciever and a Sony 1130 intigrated. I have compaired these to a Pioneer SA 9100. People love the old Pioneer, but I find it too edgey and not a good fit for Klipsch. I also have an Eiko HF 87 amp and I reciently picked up a Sony 1130 intigrated. I have listened to these 4 amps through Klipsch kg4's, JBL L77's and ADS 1230's. The Eiko on the ADS is the best, but the Sony 1130 is very close. This is a very good ss amp. They are not too expencive either. I would recomend the 1130 or STR 6055. I think STR 7045 would also be outstanding. The lower watt Marantz recievers are also said to be smooth and tubey.
Also with my Klipsch kg4's I put in the titanium tweeter domes. Big improvement. Much more detail.
