[QUOTE="B&R Innovation2, post: 278370, member: 547489"] Excellent call on the mid/late 70's models. Modern recievers are good for home theaters. I really feel that the solid state recievers and amps from that era were awesome. Their was a home audiophile thing going on at the time and the equipment makers responded by making very solid units. Personaly in my dorm I run this set up. A modern Sony dolby digital 5.1 reciever (picked up a shelf unit at best buy for like 250...was 410 retail) JBL studio front speakers from around '91 Pioneer External mount car speakers for surround. A Kicker Comp 15 in a LG ported box tune to around 32 Running the comp a old sheerwood reciever ('79) that is just a beast. It is bridged to 4ohms and I've installed a cooling fan at the top of the reciever just incase the load gets a little heavy after awhile. And then just a nice JVC VCR, PS2, Panasonic 5disk....all presented on a 13" tv...yeah i need a new tv. But the center piece is the optical connection from my soundcard (couldn't tell you the name or anything...got it for free from school) into the reciever. It is like the clearest thing you'd ever hear and it really cranks out the music. [/QUOTE]
