RE: Viking AMFM Stereo Tube Receiver RCS-472

I currently have it hooked up driving Realistic Mach 1.

It can't push it to levels the 80 w/ch SS amp normally used can, that said however within its limits it is surprisingly dynamic with much better bass speed and weight than I would have expected.

Pretty remarkable especially as the Mach 1 is only moderately efficient. The spec says it is 20 watts peak, whatever that means, most certainly not 20 watts in the normal sense. ;)

Rock solid FM reception (no drift). Frankly it seems darn near perfect, as if it hasn't seen much usage.
