@jusam - I like where you're going. My choice would be one of the Nak Stasis receivers. Some of the later/larger ones had remotes, which would be key for me, especially in a bedroom system. Not too many quality vintage receivers with remote. Otherwise, I might consider one of the Outlaw Audio receivers. Not vintage, but a quality 2-channel receiver. Lastly, there are a couple of new-ish 2 channel receivers that get decent reviews. I think one of them is the latest 2-channel receiver from Sony. It's very inexpensive. I haven't heard it, but I've seen it recommended many times on other sites. Would only buy it new, with return privileges.
@fuzztone - The OP stated his reason for wanting a receiver. He listens to the local college station at night. Sorry you don't have any decent radio stations. But there are still some decent independent/college stations around.
