Denon PMA 980R For those that don't want to spend $$$$+$'s

I have been poking around with the 980R for two weeks, and for what it is it's pretty amazing unit. No problems with controls or anything. Great sounding AMP with plenty of power. 90WPC.

Maybe a bit punchy, but I back the bass off, and leave the loudness button on.

Drives my Totem Mani 2's with little effort. (I do not think the Totem's have the power requirements many say they have)

Just thought I would mention it for those on a budget.

I have a Sansui AU 919 that could use some work, and a Yamaha CR 20240 that needs a re-lamp so until I can get those worked on this will fit the bill. 

Acurus A250 that works fine. Among a couple other units......

You have quite a collection of amps there.

 As I can see, judging from the age of the Sansui, it may require a lot in funds to have that Sansui worked on. 
 The Acurus caught my eye. Have you considered teaming it with a tubed pre? I`ve teamed a tubed pre with an Adcom 5300 ( simular to the Acurus), and have gotten good results.

That $350 for a refurb, are you sure, that, is not just for the diagnostics and parts?
17 yrs. ago, my Sansui refurb was around $450.
