Best sound in old late 70s early 80s receivers

People seem to be quite impressed with the sound of some of the large receivers from the good old days when they are hooked up to good cable and a good source. Anybody have any opnionsor first hand experience on what some of the best sounding receivers from the late 70s early 80s are. Pioneer, Marantz, Sanusui, Kenwood? Not counting the NAD 7020. Thanks,keith

I owned several. THE choice of all was/is the Luxman 1020A. The large Yamahas and Sansuis were also great. But for tonality, raw power and a tuner section that ranks among the best dedicated tuners.....it's the Luxman. Only drawback is the push pin speaker connectors which accommodate small gauge (18guage) wire.

Mine was modified: internal soldering of pre out/power in

bypass of power meter LEDs

hardwired LAT International AC 2 PC
