best vintage stereo receiver

Hi, looking to step back in time for a vintage stereo receiver for my home office.
I have owned McIntosh, Marantz, Pioneer, Yamaha & Kenwood units in the past.
I need a moderate sized unit that has good turner performance and smooth sound. What would you people recommend? I have been told that Sony and Techniques are out due to cheaper parts used and Marantz units are getting pricey. I will need switchable FM muting and an Aux input for CD use. Thanks

I use an HK 430 in my office with some Boston Acoustics A 60's. FM reception good with a simple dipole. The combo sounds pretty good. Most listening is low level.

HK, $100 serviced; A60's $60 new foam both included shipping.

Agree the Marantz is cool looking, lust after one myself! Cooler looking than the HK!
