Need Help Picking a Receiver

[wiak2]

So far I have

Audio-Technica AT-PL120 Professional Direct-Drive Turntable ($188)
Epos ELS-3 ($299)

I'm trying to find a good receiver for them. The ELS-3 have a 4 ohm impedance and are have somewhat low sensitivity (87 dB).

Any ideas on a good vintage receiver for less than $200?

Marantz 2230, hard to go wrong. I use mine with 4 ohm KEF REF's.

There are tons of them. If you can get past the looks, a JVC JR-Sx01, x00 or x00 II series is a lot of receiver for the money, On the excellent unit for the least money, look for a Philips Laboratory Series: 79x, 78x, 79x1, 78x1 series the 4 digits units are black faced version of the 3 digit units. the x can be a 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, the higher that digit the higher the power. Also, look for at the Sony STR-60x0, 60x5, 70x5 and x800 series receivers.
