I purchased two receivers this weekend. I'll try them both & keep the one I like more.
The two contenders are:
Carver Receiver
Nakamichi SA-4
They're both in very good condition and I found a couple of places that can fully restore them if I decide to. The Carver is rated at twice the power & I know the tuner section was highly rated. But I read some very good reviews about the Nakamichi too. Physically, the Nakamichi is sleeker. However, I like the matte grey of the Carver better. But they'll be placed in the den & not on display, so that's not a huge factor. The Nakamichi was a little less expensive, but they were both less than I planned on spending, so that's not factor either.
So it will come down to ease of use (for my wife) & sound quality.
