I went to a store which deals with used HiFi equipment yesterday, and stumbled across one of the most massive-looking recievers I've seen; a Sansui QRX 9001. It appeared to be in pristine condition, but the price was really over the top - almost 500 Euro / $. There was another smaller 4 channel Sansui for "only" 150, but it didn't really look nearly as impressive as the 9001.
I didn't test it (I don't have the money right now anyway), but I must confess that just the looks would have been enough if the price had been lower.
What is the sound quality of the 9001 like? Admittedly, I'm not into 4-channel sound, so buying this receiver would seem like a bit of a waste, but I haven't yet stopped dreaming about it... How would it compare sound-wise with my current amp, a H/K 930 (which more discrete appearance may perhaps in the end be more lasting)?
