Sansui?


I have a brother-in-law, retired Navy, who is interested in a nostalgia system.  When he served in in Pacific in the 80's they could get great deals on Sansui equipment and is of the opinion that Sansui was top of the line.  He asked me what I would get but I'm clueless about 80's receivers.  I doubt that he wants separates.  I'd greatly appreciate hearing your opinions.  My brother-in-law is partial to Sansui, but should I suggest something else?  He's got good ears even though he's not an audiophile.  Thanks.

I stipulated a receiver because I assumed that Sansui didn't offer an integrated in the 80's.  Probably a bad assumption - as I said, I'm clueless about the 80's.  So let's say integrated, just not separates.  Since he doesn't have a big vinyl or CD collection, I'm assuming he'll need a streamer/DAC.

@mahgister many thanks.  There's an alpha 907 for sale on USAudiomart!  What period speakers would pair well with this amp?

@johnnotkathi - my brother-in-law likes 70's rock, country, Jimmy Buffett and current blues (eg, Keb Mo).  Reverb has two alphas for sale at reasonable prices ($750 and $850) by a seller in Japan.  Paired with JBL 100's and I think he'd be a happy camper.
