Well, because I was planning on adding a sub (VR-S1) to the mix I was thinking new and multi-channel amp and I wasn't even thinking about vintage and perhaps I should have been. A friend recently acquired a HT receiver, a new Sony STR-DN1070, which he raves about.
About 10 years ago I gave my brother 3 vintage pieces which he never used and which I could ask for a return : a Pioneer Sx727, (37 wpc), a Marantz 2220 with 20 wpc and a Pioneer SA-7100 amp at 20 wpc. Which of the 3 would be a good match? I have to admit I like all 3 but wonder if they could push the TS150s + VR1 + VR-S1? Or should I just get the Sony STR-DN1070 or something else.
.... so much to learn but that's a good thing.
Thanks, Lester
