I agree that the Sansui AU-111 is amazing, and to me would be the piece to own. Sansui is the one company who’s solid state gear also sounds wonderful. I have many Sansui receivers both tube and solid state along with several integrated amps, and all of them share a sonic sweetness that you won’t hear in other brands. I have a 9090db that seems to do everything just right. But I still pine for an original AU-111.
Vintage Marantz sound, both tube and solids state is more laid back and not sweet like Sansui, but still very very good and easier to find.
I love them both. Keep in mind anything that old will need proper service.
