I am going to purchase the Yamaha too. Why buy one vinatge SS when one can have 3-4 or even 5 amps.

That is how I feel too!

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.
I became a fan of early Sony after I bougnt a Sony TA-2000F preamp and a Sony TA-3200F power amp. The build qality is among the best I have ever seen. Actually, the Sony came with a pair of ADS 810's.

I tried a Marantz 2216. Good sounding & musical amp, but the SET 2A3 creamed it. I got redicilous results from a Philips 7851 receiver & this is what triggered my quest on SS amps or say how bad are SS amps venture. The Philips 7851 is not a 2A3, but not that far off either. I do lean on a dynamic & detail sonic edge though. Some may cringe at that thought.
