I would think this thread is for those who have been at this for a while or maybe not.Its been a bit since I started a thread here but after being at this pretty hard for twenty years I finally found what I like best and desire to go no further.Remember everybody has a different agenda here for many different reasons.Not everyone wants to reach the upper limits of audio just as there are those who do.Its what works for you.For me I found out for my budget,speakers,room and life situation I like receivers.I have a couple of separate systems but the receivers is what I do 90% of the time.Its the versatility that they offer is what I like.I have had about thirty receivers of various makes and ages this is what I consider the best. the Yamaha RXZ9/RXV1.For one I like the Yamaha sound.These work best with the vintage speakers I have.Especially when I want to really apply the volume.It didn't come immediately to me.Initially I thought Yamahas were thin and weak.It took a couple of years to realize how clean and uncolored the sound really is.Once that epiphany happened I eventually sought out the totl models from the early 2000s.These I consider these some of the best sounding, very affordable and not the age related issues that are common in 70s units.
Clean, detailed and powerful with a nice degree of depth to the sound are some of the characteristics I like and although I'm sure most would prefer int or straight separates I like the versatility of these receivers.I like the ability to run 5.1 or tailor the sound of different sources.I know many have said "I'm done" (me included)and although they mean it something else comes along.For amplification this is it for me.Now for speakers...I'm not quite there yet but close.Anyway I just thought I would throw this out there as I pretty much live on a deserted island when it comes to audio and I am always interested in what others are doing.
