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 currently am using a yamaha natural sound receiver rxv870 (bought at a yard sale for $10) pushing a set of snell type d’s. It is pretty clean but analytical sounding. I have a nakamichi ta3 given to me waiting to be repaired for $150. Does anyone have experience with the nak as to whether it would be worth the investment over the yamaha? Also can get a realistic sta 2600 for free but haven’t heard it yet. Thanks.
