Best Receiver?

SS

For my second system, I needed to drive two sets of speakers, had a beloved Tandberg 2080 for many years, it died (my fault).

replacement SS: chose a Yamaha Receiver CR-1020.

The CR-2020 is the top if the line,

I never had a Yamaha, am quite pleased with it’s sound/looks/features

It’s wider than standard units

Tubes,

I have Fisher 500C, a classic, and if in good shape, no noise, full of vintage features.

Outlaw RR 2160.  Have owned one since they came to market in 2005.  Nice package for a grand, with a phono input that is pretty good, as well.

Lots of positive reviews out there.

All the NAD receivers sound excellent and are an easy recommendation!

Fisher 500C! I forgot about that one. Heard it years ago. That's a great candidate. Thanks!
