Onemug - let's see a list of those receivers.
I also had to have the table shown above custom made - quarter sawn oak - all mortise and tenon construction. BTW, not more expensive than nice "store bought" furniture.

Nope, it was the original 5600.Got it at a price no one could have refused right after it came out.
I had to reinforce the shelf on my rack to avoid any surprises

I`ve never seen one of those IRL....I bet it sounds good !I'm going to have to say that the pig I have on my bench presently is without doubt the winner in my case.Huge doesn't even begin to describe it!
Rotel RX-1603. 23 5/8''w x 7''h x 18 7/8''d & 73lbs. For you metric geezers,that's 600w x 180h x 480d & 33kg's.

Belongs to a buddy. It runs through a pair of KEF 105/2's. I still regret selling him those,as they were probably one of KEF's finest efforts,and I really miss them.
Ah well,they went to a great home
I like to bug him about that receiver having more knobs and buttons than his recording studio!

Those big Sherwoods are new to me.I thought Sherwood was only making crappy 15 lb avrs until I discovered these monsters recently.They are rare from what I have researched on them.

Mine is the only one I have ever seen. It's like a condensed version of their 965 pre and power amp. I don't have any pics with me but it is a very good looking unit and layed out very well.
A one time Sherwood had top of the line equipment.

Mine is not a receiver. I have a H/K Citation 19. Every time I look at it my back starts hurting.

Wow! Everything but the kitchen sink seems well packed in. Very nice. I like it.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 rated to 4ohms 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

Does it come with an elevator?I think the biggest receiver I've ever seen - and wished I popped on - was Denon's 100lbs monster AVR 5805.
Thanks, yeah she's well built and stuffed to the gills with sonic goodness.
