Re: best all around receiver? (kinda long and rambling)

I'll second tbcblues on the Onkyo and the Pioneer. A special one is the Onkyo TX-7000, the best 80-100 wpc receiver I've had the pleasure to hear. The SX-1010 is also a very fine sounding receiver, & has its adherents.
The 1970s certainly had more than its share of excellent receivers. Pioneer & Onkyo, especially, and very 'overbuilt,' and provide a super value (Onkyo moreso than Pioneer, but the SX-1010 is often a great buy).
Among my several receivers, past & present, the Concept 16.5 is probably my favorite. It combines my favorite aspects of the Pioneer, Onkyo & Sansui into one tremendous package.
Have fun on your hunt!
