Amended list of 150+ wpc receivers!

[Zingem]

All this is lovely gear. Seeing what prices these fetch, I'd say we're into receiver wars version II. Alas!

 

[baghdadguy]

Ok, now that we have ID'd the 'monsters among us' can we add something they need?

SPEAKERS!

What speakers can handle these beasts best? What you got that will let you go to say, '5' on the scale without bleeding you out?

My Kennie is linked to my 888's- I can get to about 4 or 5 without making the golfers out back scream. But they do lose some 'cleanliness' starting about there...

 

[Zingem]

Why does one encounter so many lists of 'moster-receivers' everywhere?
Why not a list with +X-Watt Amps? Would that be irrelevant, or do these lists exist as well?

Add Luxman R-117

The Luxman R-117 is considered by many as one of the top high powered receivers of all time. The 160 watt per side is very conservative. Has very good high current/headroom ratings, and to as low as 2 ohms

 

[-Crash-]

What about the Pioneer sx 1050?? It puts out 170w RMS at 4 ohms.

Luxman R-117 160WX2

Some say it's the best.....

We're talking about receivers in the 8ohms range.

Soundstream DA-1, 200 WPC dual mono power amplifier

The thread is talking about receivers, not separate power amps

gold

You left out the Marantz SR700G at 150 w/ch.

 

[The Fez]

..Not sure 'bout the Sansui G-33000/22000 being a receiver. Looks like a power amp with a pre and tuner "bolted" onto the amp. Well I suppose it's in "one" piece. Should a receiver be defined as a unit in one chassis? I think so. Don't get me wrong, I love the Sansui gear. own some too

 

[minkybut]

Is there a list on AK for integrated amps 150+ or better wpc?

 

[SchweinHaus]

Has anyone mentioned the Concept 16.5? Straight SS receiver rated at 165 WPC, right?

Has anyone mentioned the Concept 16.5? Straight SS receiver rated at 165 WPC, right?

I see the Fisher RSZ1 isnt on the list. It was part of their Professional Digital Reference Series. It was rated at 150 wpc into 8ohms 20-20khz @ .007THD. In a 4 ohm load it was rated at 227wpc at same distortion level. This reciever had a 2.25db dynamic headroom to boot. Audio magazine rated it as one of the best receivers I believe in 1989 or 1990. I have one that I will try to have restored.
