The Sherwood Newcaste R-772. On clearance around $200. It is a HT receiver so you will have 7 more channels than needed for stereo [grin] but it does an honest (?) 100 watts RMS/channel (8 ohm). It supposedly was around a grand (list) when new, and includes a built-in auto or manual parametric EQ (handy, I hope for use for Bose 901s lacking the standard EQ)--the use I got them for. Download the manual, it's an impressive unit at the price. I got both mine off Ebay. So not a first hand review, but I am passing on a good recommendal. Tell us what you settle on. There are some cheap bastards here (like me!) in additon to all the people who spend more on their audio than most people do on a new car :)

My MAC and Sansui dinosaurs sound great and are FAR more attractive than the newer stuff. Also, they don't - tinear 08:34:15 03/18/12 (3)

I've got a Sansui 9090DB powering Boston Lynnfield VR-30s fed by a Thorens turntable - Road Warrior 10:24:19 03/18/12 (2)

Indeed, the Sansui has a sweet sound, though my MAC 1900 is sweeter, still. The tuner on the Sansui is not - tinear 11:00:50 03/18/12 (1)
