OK....let's get right down to it. What are your top 3 Vintage Receivers of all time? They can be your favorites because of how the sound, how they look, how much or how little they cost, how much they weigh and/or how reliably they perform, among other things! BUT, YOU MUST HAVE OWNED THEM AND THEY MUST BE YOUR FAVORITES.
For the sake of dsicussion, I'm going to define "vintage" as "pre-1981". And I'm going to define a "Receiver" as an all in one unit that is designed to function as one piece integrated into a single form factor.
Here are mine:
Concept 16.5: Meets or exceeds every expectation. Defines BRUTE FORCE.
Rotel RX-1603: Sometimes, I just sit and stare at it. MARVELOUS MASSIVE
Marantz 2325: Does any Receiver REALLY sound much better? DOUBT IT!
Let's see what's on your list.......
