Will I notice a difference in sound quality if I use a 1978 JVC 190 watt reciever instead of a 1997 TEAC 130 watt?

    Probably not....I'd use the JVC out of the 2.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    which JVC model?

    Does it, perchance, look anything like this...?

    I would say the older JVC would sound better. My 1970's 15 WPC Pioneer receiver sounds a lot better than my 100wpc 1990's JVC receiver. It's not so much the brand as the vintage...
    Ludicrous gibs!

    Well, that's kind of where I was goin'...
    by the very late 1970s (maybe 1980) the bottom-end JVCs were nothing to write home about; but their better stuff from the early-mid 1970s was pretty decent.
