Best stereo recievers of the 1970's?

I remember walking in to my local Hi Fi shop and looking at the line ups of
recievers.Pioneer,,Jvc,Sansui,Kenwood,Luxman.I loved the Sansui 9090 db
but when I heard the Luxman (don't remember the model number) in the late 70's it was the best I've ever heard at the time.

Ditto: Marantz 2270. Has pre out main in and a great tuner section to boot. All around great classic. Actually any of the Marantz 20XX or 22XX of the time period. These were when Sol Marantz was still in charge. I had a Fisher 500C along with a 2270 back then and the 2270 gave up nothing to the Fisher.

I just picked up a Marantz 2325 with double the power of my 2270 mentioned earlier in this thread and it is amazing.
It holds the bass like nothing I have heard before in this vintage. Using it to drive Spendor S3/5 minimonitors and it makes them sound like full range floor standers.
