willland Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 Just a question if you had to pick one solid state Reciever for your 2 channel setup what would it be? Stereo receiver I am assuming? What speakers? Never mind. Luxman R-117 hands down with any speakers. Bill 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustang guy Posted June 23, 2016 Share Posted June 23, 2016 It would have to be either the Pioneer SX-1250 or the SX-1280 for me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rockhound Posted June 23, 2016 Author Share Posted June 23, 2016 Mustang me too the 1280 is the only monster reciever I have heard and it was awesome and I just love the 70's look. Hopefully one of these days I can run across one of those 70's monsters for a reasonable price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tromprof Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 My Yamaha CR-2020 sounded really good with Klipschorns, as does my old HK receiver (630?). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rxonmymind Posted June 28, 2016 Share Posted June 28, 2016 Still some months out I'll have a Marantz 2500 that I'll report on. Probably be restored by December. Lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rosey1968 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 I grew up listening to music on a McIntosh 1900 receiver with AR14 speakers so from a nostalgia standpoint that is the receiver for me. Not a bad little set up either. I still have that receiver although it is not a part of my everyday gear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Opus Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 Just a question if you had to pick one solid state Reciever for your 2 channel setup what would it be? I really like the sound of my Pioneer SX 850. I'm hoping to like my Pioneer SA 9500 as much, or more, once I get some issues with it resolved. Maybe some day I'll get the chance to hear a Pioneer SX 1250. Yeah, I like the vintage Pioneers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jbruno Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 I had one of those old Yamaha CR-2020's for about 20 years, finally got to the point where I couldn't get it repaired anywhere. Sure would love tot get another one of those! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twk123 Posted July 11, 2016 Share Posted July 11, 2016 If class D is technically solid state then I would go for my 'cheap' Lepai 2020A+ amp. The LaScalas draw such little wattage that it keeps Class D within their extremely low distortion range and you can hook them up to a 12V battery for really clean sound free from any noise from your home electrical system. I do want to build my own Class D rig soon though as the Lepai has some cheap parts and the volume pot has some issues which isnt needed if you are running an AVR as a pre-amp anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2Bmusic Posted August 13, 2016 Share Posted August 13, 2016 +1 on Sansui then x100. I have listened to or tried many SS amps. ( tubes too) The Khorns are making sounds that are breathtaking with the Sansui BAF1 and CAF1 ( circa ~1979) I am now using. A fraction of the cost of most all other amp options, and a sound that blows away everything I have tried. Vanishing low THD and TIM, and super fast and amazing 200V/ microsecond slew rate.... they leave nothing wanting!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
