QUOTE (Google search):
"The most important judgment of a receiver's worth is its sound quality. Recently, Consumer Reports' electronics engineers tested 27 inexpensive models. Most performed quite well. The phono preamps were excellent by just about every measure. So were the power amplifiers, with just a couple of exceptions. As a group, the tested models were quite powerful. By the engineers' measurements, they averaged well over 50 watts at eight ohms. That is not much less than the 65-watt average for midprice receivers tested last year. And small differences in power are functionally irrelevant. Not until power doubles would an increase in volume be likely to matter. The electronics engineers usually mend a power output of at least 30 watts per channel, a measurement achieved by all but one of the models tested. That should provide plenty of power to drive a pair of well-designed speakers at moderately loud volume. The danger of an underpowered receiver is the harsh clatter called "clipping." The noise can be violent enough to burn out the speaker drivers, especially the tweeters. The biggest differences among the tested receivers were in tuner performance, and that largely determined the ratings. The top-rated receiver was the Sony STR-AV500. It provided exceptional FM reception, very good AM reception and top-notch convenience and controls. Tuning was especially easy. But the Sony was among the most expensive receivers tested in the group. The testers paid $300."

****************************************************************************************** Local buyer much preferred (cash on pickup); e-transfer is possible, but unpredictable, takes from 2 min to 30 min waiting to go through. I will ship in Canada if paid by Interac e-transfer, packed nicely with PP foam/styrofoam, insured and tracked. Shipping costs: $42 ON/QC, $54 to Alberta, $59 to BC Pickup or shipping only, no deliveries.
I've been collecting vintage stereos for a long time, so trade-ins, old receiver, amplifier, CD player, speakers, turntable in any condition will be considered.
