Consider splitting into a good integrated and something like a Magnum Dynalab FT-11 tuner. This is not an expensive tuner--I see them used here pretty regularly for a few hundered. Most receivers in that range will have a marginal tuner and for low power college stations you really want a great tuner. As to the integrated I'll let others comment--there are so many.
RECIEVER recommendations
I am in the market for a used reciever (2 channel) for a second system. I can spend up to $1200-1500. My speakers will be Nautilus 805's. They need 75-100 watts of power. I also like to listen to low power college stations, so FM sensitivity is a consideration. Any recommendations?
