Where are the twin powered HK receivers - 430, 630, 730 and 930. Don't have one now, but always respected the sound.

Well, I bought a 430 13 days ago and Fed Ex has "lost" it. I hope they find it but it's not looking good at this point.
 
Love the gear here. That Supreme 600 has 4 18000 uf power caps in it for a 130 wpc amp. That is the same amount as my friends Adcom GFA-585 and it puts out almost twice the power. Amazing how overbuilt the Kenny is.
 
Kenwood/Trio KA-907 (A more modern/later high speed release of their Model 600 Supreme),KA-9100,Model 600 Supremes,KA-7300,KA-7150,and KA-8100.
Also the Pioneer SA-9800,SA-8800,and A-91D integrated amps feature superlative dual mono designs (the latter being the heaviest integrated Pioneer ever produced at nearly 30KG),whilst not forgetting the Pioneer Spec 4 power-amp,Kenwood KR-9600,and AKAI AA-1200 receivers.

The Meridian G51 uses a twin secondary single transformer.
That rules it out if you ask me.

The Pioneer SX-1980 and SX-1250 use the same, twin secondary TX/former and separate PSUs and amps.
 
Have that Kenwood KA-7300 integrated,no-doubt-about-it that's a great piece of gear.
So is the matching KT-7300 tuner,that pair were advertised as the "dynamic duo" back in the day.

Also have an Adcom GFA-535 MkI power amp that is a dual mono design,excellent SQ from that amp.

I have an Onkyo A-10 that I am currently using as a power amp for my mains in a surround system. Here's a couple of pics's. Incidentally those big caps are actually "dual" caps 2 x13k uF each for a total of 52k uF. Weighs in at a hefty 45lbs. One of the best integrateds of the late 70's for sure.

I have both the Kenwood Supreme 600 / Pioneer SA 9800 and this: Pioneer A88X in my stable.
Elite A-88X from 1985, dual mono architecture with individual power transformers (3) and 7 power supplies. It is audiophile tuned from the factory and with upgraded components. 14-AWG power cord.
