RE: ? best Pioneer receiver?

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.
