Receiver Advice for Pioneer HPM-100

[Kalden]

I'm moving into a new apartment and I am thinking of upgrading my stereo system. I'm looking at getting some Pioneer HPM-100s and would like some opinions on which receiver is the best deal/best fit for these speakers. The apartment isn’t large but I’d like to be able to keep the system once I move into my own house.

kenwood kr-7600 | 390$


maratnz 2230B | 400$


technics sa550 | 310$


Sansui G-4700 | 220$


pioneer sx750 | 360$


Pioneer sx3800 | 340$


thanks!

I know a few of those but not all. The SX-750 seems high priced and although it's a great receiver (I have one), it doesn't pack the wattage that the HPMs are capable of. It would drive them fine, but I'd be looking for more in the 60-100+wpc range. Especially since you'll have your own house one day. Headroom!

You might also read up on some of those models at AK- just use the search engine at top right. You'll find some opinions on the sound, reliability, etc.

Oh, and welcome to AK!

I’ve been browsing AK whenever I see a model pop up! Just trying to determine which ones are good deals.

And thanks! Long time reader first time poster.

Another way to gauge prices is to look at Sold items on ebay. That will be higher than you should pay locally but it gives you a benchmark. Figure at least 25% off or more for local sales. Some people try to get ebay prices on CL, but you usually can't so don't fall for it.
