    Hmmm....I've got a few integrateds and receivers but none that are really monsters. The biggest one I have is a Sansui AU-11000a (110wpc) which is a beast but I don't really wanna sell it just yet. I have a Kenwood KA-7100 that works and sounds great but is missing one knob. And for receivers, a McIntosh 1900 (55wpc) with wood case (a beauty), a few Pioneers (SX-650, 750 and 890) and 2 Concepts (both 2.5's). I think that's it but it's hard to say.

    JimBrick, be ready to plunk down some serious coinage if it's in good condition.. prices for some of those big beefy behemoths are outrageous right now. Sometimes going for 2 or 3 times more than what they originally sold for new 30 yrs ago. :eek:

    I'm running a set of Ohm speakers so I dont need a 150 wpc monster. I just meant heavy built. I've been told some of these 50wpc receivers sound more like 150wpc

    Jim,

    I bought a Technics SA-404 on CL for $40. While not a giant killer it sounds very nice and has plenty of power. It generates some heat and has that vintage smell. I used it last weekend to power my 1C's in a 4000 SQFT room with 20" ceilings and @ 150 people milling around. It worked beautifully. Later in the night we pushed it pretty hard with out a hint of any issues.

    Scott
    I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D
