There are a couple people on flea-bay that refurb classic receivers (Sansui, Marantz, Pioneer, etc) and then sell them. I've come so close to buying one so many times, and they all look great even after all this time.

Some of them go for big money too.

http://www.audiokarma.org is the home of the vintage receiver crowd //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I didn't think there was anything solid state that rivaled tubes for sheer heft, but a guy brought a Sansui G-8800 to the local AK meet last month...split into a receiver chassis and an outboard power supply, each weighed 50lbs. I was impressed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Kyocera R-851...

One of my FAVORITE vintage receivers of all time... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Quote from a guy who loves vintage Equipment:

"Kyocera R-851 receiver

The best stereo receiver I ever heard came out this year. The R-851 started a great relationship for us and Kyocera. It was priced like Yamaha or Denon but built much better! At $850 with guts! 85 w/ch, this was the first RECEIVER that could drive some of our demanding speakers nicely."

Ran it on a DM330i system and it sounded great!!! Loved it... If you can find one BUY IT!!!
