Wide bodies

[Texas Tom]

As I am a wide body, I decided to post a picture of my wide bodies:

Top: Sansui z-9000x - 21.75 inches wide
Middle: Kenwood KR-7600 - 20.63 inches wide
Bottom: Kenwood Model Eleven II - 22.5 inches wide

I have quite a few wide body receivers that won't fit in any common bookshelf.

Sansui z8900Db, Onkyo TX-8500MkII, Pioneer SX-1250 + SX-1280, and a Sansui G8000.

The Big Onk takes up the most space and also weighs a nice 81 lbs. It is my favorite.

Wow! That's a heavy weight!

For scale, here is a HK 330c on the same shelf - 15.5 inches wide

Sorry KingBubba, I intended on saying that those silver Onkyos are beautiful!

I have them on my wish list.

Thats not a wide body...This is a wide body..

Thank you. I see your rounding up the good stuff yourself. Do you have plans for speakers? That's the hard part. I've picked up some Bozak302A and Rectilinear 111's that will displace most of these.
Out with the good in with the better.

Here's a couple giants which I repaired recently. Those are TO-3 transistors on top of the Sansui, for scale.
Sansui 9090DB
Telefunken TR-600 DC

Just under 24". Had to build a custom rack to fit this mutha ...

My last Pontiac was a stock 79 400 Pontiac motor T/A. Should have kept that car, and you know why. Sold it in 86 because it wasn't 69/71.

 

[KingBubba]

TT, those shelves look great for holding big stuff.

Wait, there's a 3020? I thought it ended at 2020...
