View attachment 929500 My sta 2100d is the biggest I have 20.5"x16.5 and weighs 48 lbs

Niiice.
I miss mine. In for a full restore and should be done in couple years. Once back it's not leaving again.

 

[Dr. Morbius]

The biggest receiver I've ever owned is my Denon AVR-5700. It's not nearly as large as the hulksters in this thread, but it's still pretty substantial at 47 lbs.

Dimensions (WxDxH) : 17.1 in x 19.4 in x 7.1 in
Weight: 47.4 lbs

I love the power section in this thing.

Mine is an SX-1980. Yeah it is big and heavy but the secret is to find a place where you want it and leave it there.

Onemug - let's see a list of those receivers.

Pioneer SX850 Marantz 18 Marantz 2270* Pioneer SX1010

Do I recall reading that the Marantz 19 is particularly high quality? (I've never seen one.)

Nice looking collection!

Sanyo JCX-2900K. It dwarfs the Kenwood KR-9400 next to it, which is not a small unit.

View attachment 929376 View attachment 929379 View attachment 929380 Not sure if newer receivers are allowed in this thread, but thought I would share one of the last great sounding Uber receivers that's built like a tank, at 73lbs 18in long 17in wide 9in tall and a true 150wpc, it's definitely a back muscle puller as it did just that to my back when I foolishly thought I'd just pick it up right quick and move it to another rack (not smart). Anyway onkyo did a very good job with this one and extremely clean on the inside as well. Great looking receivers on here and lots of good listening, happy listening all

Simply pornographic!

Awesome setup dude!

I have an Onkyo TX 6500 MKII from the 70's and it is a beast. I think they pretty much put everything but the kitchen sink in this baby as it weighs about 50 lbs. Loud too. Pretty sure I may have awaken the dead a few times.

These "monster receivers" can be fun, until you get old, and have difficulty lifting and carrying them safely.

i could barely lift my 64lb SX-1250 a few years ago when i got it, im a little older now and i cant lift it at all. its on the lower shelf and thats where its staying

 

[Bodyblue]

I am far more of a "mid size" receiver collector but my Sony STR 5800 is my biggest with the MCS 3248 just a bit smaller. My Realistic STA 800 is about as heavy however while shorter.

 

[NH-MAN]

Sansui G9000 is my biggest. I had to have a custom rack made for the next largest...even then the G9k had to go on top.View attachment 929570

Do I recall reading that the Marantz 19 is particularly high quality? (I've never seen one.)

I think many feel it was one of Marantz's best efforts, not so much in power (rated at 50 wpc) but in quality. It had their 16b amp/33 pre/20b tuner for it's insides. IMO, it and the 18 are two of the best receivers I've heard.

Here's a picture.

Haha thanks.

^^^ Not for purists ^^^

Purists of what? old?

If it has a turner, preamp and power amp all in one box it's a receiver.

 

[peerson]

My SX-1010 is pretty dad-gum big. But, the SX-1250 is truly a monster! I don't think that I will buy any more (unless I just happen to stumble on to something-not going to actively search). Unless I "graduate" to try "Tubes".

 

[rlisin]

The widest I own are:

Sansui QRX-5500 - 23.4''
Grundig Receiver RC60 - 24.8''
B&O Beomaster 3400 - 26.9''

None of them is a "monster" in terms of power.

Yamaha Flagship Brothers.RXV1and RXZ9. Coming in together at 130lbs of pure sweet AVR power.

I owned the RXZ9 Beast of a receiver and extremely powerful, always wanted the RXV1 also just never got around to buying one.
