This would make a nice integrated for a second system. I had an older model, an FA-960 and it was awesome, one piece I should have never gotten rid of. Don't laugh because of the name, back then they made nice stuff, not like the junk today....

    Dang...The crazy page won't hook up, sorry about that. Someday I'll figure all this crap out.

    Anyways, punch in Philips under integrated amplifiers and click on FA-80.

    Looks like a nice piece, no remote.

    Here is somemore info from a review............ "my first real stereo built around a Philips FA-80 integrated amplifier. The FA-80 was a hoot. It had 10 inputs (11 if you count the dedicated processor loop), switchable class A and A/B output stage, and a decent amount of "future proofing". Being from a time when Philips was trying to make inroads into hi-end in the states (and not the low end Wal-Mart brand it is today) this was a real amplifier with a huge power transformer, massive heat sinks and impressive power ratings. Not long after I bought this amplifier, the entire line was passed to the Marantz tag where I think it was renamed the PM-80. The nearest modern day equivalent is the PM-7000 (although similar in specification, feature wise the FA-80 leaves it in the dust) if you want to get a taste of what this amplifier was."
