joshnich Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Hello all I just picked up a stereotech receiver. I know that these were designed by Mcintosh and built in japan and Ive read some favorable reviews elsewhere but id be interested in any opinions from the Klipsch forum folks. Thanks josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundthought Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 Hi. I own 2 of them. Personally, I think they are a very well built piece of equipment. (Interesting story behind Stereotech, BTW). I've done extensive comparison with a variety of classic speakers and this receiver. It does justice to everything I threw at it. From my Magnepan MG2s to my Infinity Kappa9s, it didn't strain one bit. (now...if I could only find a mid driver for my ML1cs, I could really check it out) ha ha. Anyway, I compared it with my '76 Cornwalls and my Chorus 2s. Both offered an excellent performance. The CWs sounded great with most music venues (depth, imaging, ect), but the Chorus2 really put on a show. They mated well with the Stereotech. Shone, would be the word. I remember that I was so put back by the sonic characteristics of this synergy, that I left the system hooked up for several days. LOL....that's usually a good sign, for me. Anything that stays hooked up that long, is for the most part, a winner in my book. I pretty much can tell if something mates well within the first hour or so. Nice piece. IMHO, definately a collectors item. I have both of mine stashed with some of my finer/rarer amps and receivers. Enjoy. Regards, John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshnich Posted July 8, 2005 Author Share Posted July 8, 2005 Thanks John, i would be interested in the interesting story! The reviews I have read place stereotech pretty far up the vintage ss receiver chain. higher than some of the "collector gear" that's for sure. I am excited to get the unit. ill post some photos and impressions when I do. Josh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soundthought Posted July 8, 2005 Share Posted July 8, 2005 I think you'll like it, Josh. Ahhhh. the Stereotech story. Hmmmmmmm. Huh... Tell ya what , man. I'm gonna have to get back with you about that tommorrow. A "friend" just stopped by to "visit" so i'm going to have to redirect my attentions to her and call it a night around here. BTW. I bumped up an old thread in the General section concerning my Stereotech/Chorus combo. Gotta go. Regards, John. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
