How big is your biggest Receiver? (watts)

[glend123]

Pioneer 1050 120wpc

Mark Levinson No 585 - 200W per channel into 8ohms - <0.01% @ 1kHz, 200W, 8 Ω; <0.1% @ 20kHz, 200W, 8 Ω

That's an integrated amp, not a receiver.

The 80 watt JVC vr-5660 from 1974. A nice receiver.

 

[ironcoder]

Pioneer SX-3800 60 watts per channel. However, it is just used as a preamp.

Yamaha RV-495 70 wpc. Not really vintage, bought new in '99. It has a phono input and a remote with a motorized volume control.

MCS 3125 rated at 125WPC. Had it completely reworked and my tech said it now tests out at 149 WPC.

It has multiple DAC inputs so wouldn’t that make it more than an integrated. Does a receiver only have AM/FM radio?

Sony STR-7800SD 125WPC ~ '75 - '78
Sony GX-90ES 120WPC ~ '90-'91

Kenwood KR-9050 200 watts per channels ,
Pioneer SX-1250 160 watts per channels ,
Sansui G-8000 120 watts per channels and my recently acquisition at the thrifty store :
Lafayette LR-120DB 120 watts per channels and sounds wonderful.

What do you mean "Does a receiver only have AM/FM radio"? Of course it has that as well or it would be only an Amplifier

My point was a audio receiver doesn’t have to have only an AM/FM, preamp, and Amplifier to be a receiver. It can have a preamp, amplifier and other inputs or functions, like digital inputs with an internal DAC like the Mark Levinson I posted earlier.

Still not a Receiver per say as they are commonly known as! Receivers are what they are and Amplifiers are just power

NO that's not right! Still not a Receiver per say as they are commonly known as! Receivers are what they are and Amplifiers are just power with other functions

Sansui Stereo 8 - 160 WPC @ 8 ohms.

 

[tarior]

Sansui 8 doesn't put out anywhere near 160wpc.

Are you a JVC collector? I have a 4VR-5456X not being used.

 

[quiet]

No, it just wandered in.

Me too.
