But realistically, Craigslist nga. I have gotten some deals you wouldn't believe, and some speakers that couldn't be beat by 95% of PE's offerings. Vintage audio is all that it is cracked up to be, and more. Start off with a pair of Klipsch KG4's/Large Advents/Pioneer HPM-100's and grab yourself a silver-faced MCS receiver. Shouldn't run you over $300 for the speakers and receiver. It will sound VERY nice, get loud, and look even better.

Lol...I would enjoy hitting it with a large, dense piece of metal!

Nah, Metallica and BOC are purty good.

Whatchu talkin bout? brah , get a pioneer SX series. any of them from 20 WPC to the bad boy SX-1980 are pure sex!! And if you enjoy vinyl they have one of the cleanest phono preamps known to man.

Or if you really wanna wake up the dead , find a sansui g33000

I have had an SX-525 and a Sansui 9900Z. I much prefer the looks and especially the sound of my MCS 3253!

The G series is better sounding than the Z Sansui's, but still. If you've never heard a silver faced MCS, you're seriously missing out.

Technics makes nice cheap receivers too. Them and the good MCS amps were mostly made in the same buildhouse as Pioneer.

If you happen to stumble upon an MCS 3125...I hate you lol

i had a silver faced MCS 8 track player. I couldn't tell the difference in the sound of it compared to a standard cassette player. And i had a lot of nice high end tape decks as a teenager. Which goes to show that the JCpenny 8 track player was a pretty top notch piece. :] so i don't doubt that the recievers were nice too. I miss my old marantz , it was a 2238b. Very nice low power reciever , and the tuner would pick up orlando stations with ease all the way here in tampa.

I need to trade my bedside receiver for a Marantz...need that warm tube-like sound to lull me to sleep.

i loved mine , but i was 12 years old and dumb. when i got it the protection fuses were blown , i soldered jumper wires in place of the fuses and one day my dad brought home some bose 151's i believe. he wanted to use them in his big rig. i hooked them up and one had tinsel leads that were touching and i fried a channel in it. :[

Happens to the best of us...

I constantly "test" the durability of my amps, running all of them at as low as 2ohms stereo...never even hurt one of them! Technics, Sansui, MCS, even Korean made Pontus...never damaged a home audio amp in my life!

Damaged (but didn't blow) a couple woofers...never blew a home audio speaker either...even ran a 25wrms transducer off a 275wrms plate amp! Also ran some 60wrms Technics off 175wpc. Although I blame that on their underrated speakers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
