Going into this my friend was not aware of my preference the Pioneer receiver over a Accuphase 280 integrate . There was more to his visit then to look at some old receiver.
The TeKton speakers are fairly efficient into a steady 8 ohms and very easy to drive . The pioneer rated at 160 watts per channel into 8 ohms and the Accuphase rated at 90 per channel into 8 ohms the Pioneer driving the TeKton speakers took on a whole different sound signature , pleasing to the ears with spectacular well defined bass thunder I had no idea the speakers we’re capable of .My friends preference is the Pioneer.
Anyway the Accuphase is a fine integrate likely better suited with another brand of speakers .
