Hi, I know this is an old post but I have a Sansui G9000 pure power receiver hooked up to Mach 1 speakers and it still sounds great. It looks and sounds like new. No bleeding caps and the tuner still functions as new. I know this is hard to believe but I have cleaned it inside and out every 6 months since I got it in 1982.
This receiver was originally hooked up to Cerwin Vega and Polk audio speakers. For a while I used it as my main amp for my surround system. This thing will rock the house and you can hear it up the street when it gets cranked (Not very often).
So don't listen. If you buy an old receiver and it was a top end one chances are it will last a long time. My new Onkyo's 7.1 surround amps and receivers had always had issues and the Pioneer elite system was not much better.
I have a Denon DP-62L with a grace cartridge and a Pioneer PR 707 hooked to it as well and it sound great.So buy and enjoy.
