Well, I have gone the minimalist road. I was happily using a refurbished Pilot SM-245A EL84 Integrated amp, when I met a tech who was using a Kirksaeter pre-tuner..I loved it. So I went looking for one and found this monster receiver.

Finesse, great tonality, power. I love the sound of this unit...Having some DIN connectors for speakers, and PAL connectors for the tuner antenna is a PITA, but easy to overcome. Tone controls can be defeated. I used all outputs and inputs and the SQ is stupendous in all.


Product Weakness: rear connectors.
Product Strengths: Tonality, unobtrusive sound.
