Hey I found an old Sansui 3000A one day while I was out. I found out that is was rated at 22 watts per channel @ 8 ohms. Would it make sense to find a good set of horns for this receiver? It sounds pretty good with a set of Titans but nothing that will throw you out of your chair. Would a set of old corner horns make this receiver come alive?

I have a 3000A. The rating is actually 45 watts rms- I have all the specs and alot more info in the operating and sevice manuals for it.
This receiver goes back a good 30 years!

Not sure what to recommend as far as speakers though. I prefer the Sansui receivers from the latter part of the 70's. The 3000A is ideal for powering my computer speakers (JBL/HLS-410).
