Focal Kanta No 2
Upscale Audio has them listed at 4995.00 
Do any still use an older high end tuner from the past?....
Not high end, but I have my eyes on a Pioneer TX-D1000 but don't know how much I can offer. I'm inclined to offer 50% of new retail price but does anyone here know what the going price is? I don't gauge pricing by Ebay 
Stereo Receivers from the past...
+1 for FB marketplace, seems some people don't know what they have value wise

Soundstage disappeared!?
Thank you everyone for helping. I can't seem to find a service manual for this unit to be able to troubleshoot so if I take this to someone to check it out, what parameters do they have to go by? Maddening I tell you. I thought about buying a new ... 
Soundstage disappeared!?
