I hope to soon be making a trade for a Yamaha A-1 integrated and will be mating it up with 84 db Celestion 100's. I think the A-1 is a dual mono unit and think that this could be a pretty nice sounding budget-vintage set up. I also used to sell audio at the retail level between 91-93 and just loved the Celestion 100's with the B&K ST140 that we used to demo together. I now own a really nice sounding rare Tandberg 3030 receiver but the Celestions really need more than 20 wpc...
The Tandberg 3030 is a very under the radar piece because it wasn't built in Norway or Denmark like their earlier receivers, yet it sounds terrific. The phono stage is great and the tuner is incredible.
