Top 3 receivers of all time

[walleyeny]

LIST THE TOP THREE RECEIVERS OF ALL TIME my three are #1] TOSHIBA 7150 #2] CONCEPT 16.5 #3] PIONEER SX1250

 

[Ohighway]

"Top" meaning what? Top three ever produced ? Top three I've personally owned? Top three as in 'most expensive'? Top three as in highest powered? Top three in value for money ? Lotsa' ways to interpret your question.

Hmm tough call,

Really love Pioneer, but Fluro the most. So for me it's these 3:

1) Pioneer D7000
2) ReVox B780
3) Setton RS660 Base on wonderful looks

 

[SoCal Sam]

No particular order:

Concept 16.5 (Best build)
Luxman R-117 (Best sounding)
Marantz 2600 (Most impressive effort)

 

[CohibaJoe]

From what I have....

Pioneer SX-1250, Luxman R-117

Always looking for a Concept 16.5. But I have to say the Sony STR-GX10ES sounds Very Fine as to after the Recap.

If you want a "monster" style receiver that also has superb sound quality, then track down a MCS 3125. No kidding. You owe it to yourself to give it a listen. Surprised the hell out of me. :yes:

I have a Lux R-117 and I love it. It is the best sounding too. I also like the Denon DRA-1035R, but the sound is a little different... very clean, but more analytical. The 117 is very smooth (not bright at all) and has excellent bass.

Just googled it, man it's fugly.

I started to convulse looking at the eq lines. No thanks.

 

[Buzz]

I think the Marantz 2600 is probably king if not real close.

Now the Technics SA-1000 is more powerfu-330 watts vs. the 2600's 300 wattsl but not as well built or regarded..

 

[KentTeffeteller]

Simple answers for SS:

Marantz 19
McIntosh MAC 4100
HK Citation Receiver

 

[68custom]

May not be as powerful as some of these but. 1) the Onkyo Tx 8500 Mk2 is a well made beast. 2) Mac 1900.3)Yamaha c3020.
