Best vintage receivers for FM?


For 2nd or even 3rd systems (inc. my workshop) I am thinking of buying an older receiver or two. Most of the listening time will be FM stations...and even in 2nd type of systems I do want good sonics....my FM listening has been on tuners like the MD-108 and Sansui TU-919.......so-so sound is not o.k.

What do you think of the following list of candidates, or can you suggest others?

1. Yamaha CR-1000 or CR-2020.
2. Sansui 9090 or G-9000.
3. Nakamichi SR-3a.
4. Sony STR-6800SD.

Thanks.....

A Marantz 4400 Quad Receiver had an outstanding FM Tuner.
I know I use to own 2 of these.Also any Heathkit Receiver from the 70"s made outstanding FM Tuners in their receivers.
But if your looking for just a stand alone FM Tuner then you have several choices from the early 70's as previously mentioned on this post.
Luxman 1120A, exceptional tuner and better sounding preamp/power than almost any of the pieces mentioned above. I've owned many of them. You may find a slightly better tuner, but not the combination.
Everyone is replying with tuner answers, I thought the question was for a receiver? Get a Tandberg receiver 2055 or higher model, some of the Pioneers are also good and of course have it tuned.
The Kyocera R-861 has been the best receiver I have had. I've even used it as a tuner/preamp feeding a tube amplifier. The matching DA-610CX CD player still does a credible job. Even the lesser R-461 does a good job as a receiver. I see where the Harman Kardon 930 has been recommended because of haaving a good tuner. Actually, from my own experience, I praise the 930, 730, 630 Harman Kardons for having very good amplifiers, all having double mono amps with individual amp power supplies. The High Fidelity Magazine 4/76 review of the HK 730 receiver showed it to have the best square wave response I have ever seen for a receiver amplifier. The Marantz receivers of that era did not match the HK in amplifier performance although many such as the Marantz 2325 had immense power and it is a credible and durable receiver. I still have one working as new after thirty years of service.
I'm quite surprised no one has mentioned Tandberg - the 2075 and 2080 had some of the finest tuner sections ever to grace a receiver. And their phono and power sections were considered excellent, too. Try to find one with a nicely kept rosewood cabinet, simply gorgeous!.
