I love high end vintage stereo equipment. Needed a new receiver for my shop and happened upon this B&K AVR307 receiver on CL. Doing a little research, it was a true monster back in the early 2000s, 7.1 at 150 watts per channel and originally sold for $3500. Today's price, with remote, $175. It's unlike any other receiver I've ever seen. You program it with an onscreen display, a little annoying, but I'm getting the hang of it. It's nearly infinitely variable in the sound it puts out. Anyway, it produces amazing sound and I'll need some vintgey speakers to do it justice in 2 channel mode.
What were some great speakers back in the day? That would still be good today.
