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.

Tandberg 2075 and 2080 - superb receivers. McIntosh receivers were awesome, too. And the Bang and Olufsen's were works of art that sounded quite good. Revox had a great one, too.

For more consumer-oriented gear, Harman/Kardon produced a series that had tremendous amp sections, very dynamic with tons of current. NAD also made a very fine high-current receiver with a lot of "balls".

ADS and Proton had some interesting pieces, but their reliability left much to be desired.
