RE: Newbie: Need Help Finding An Amp/Receiver For My System

If you or a freind can upgrade tube receivers, I offer the following. Your high efficient speakers open up a few avenues.

The best sounding receiver I own or had owned is a modified Eico 2510 SE EL84. All my receivers I owned have been upgraded from factory stock design. The tuner section needs a few mods & the amp section 12DW7 changed to E80CC. Very simple mods here & I listed the mods in previous posts. One in SET & other in Radio Road. The Radio Road mods are listed as an Eico Classic 2200. Same tuner section in the Eico 2510 less the audio output tube. The tuner section is not a low sensitivity design, but if far away from FM stations an outdoor antenna is needed. SS tuners have more sensitive receivers.

If modifying is beyond your capacity, a Marantz 2230 sounded good in the past. I have not owned but a few SS receivers.
