Personally, I like tube amps - for looks and sound. but they get expensive.

we've been looking for a 5.1 receiver for months which doesn't look like all the other giant bricks. wtf?? are receivers the only electronics which haven't shrunk one inch since the 80s?

i find H/K dollar for dollar to be one of the most expensive when it comes to comparing power, noise reduction, etc. granted mcintosh is more than h/k & marantz but you are buying proprietary patented sound delivery when you make that choice

because they are still tube amps and are unaffected by temp.... this is where digital amps fail. pushing out max current to HD, speakers, sub, etc get's fucking hot...... and we all know you *won't* take the time to vent, cool and air the amp station. instead, it will look like this:
inside some particle board thing.;)

hey at least i have an answer! thanks madirish :)
still pisses me off though. i have some old nakamichi laying around from the late 80s and everything i've been looking at looks just like it.

av connection/component design is just absurd. give me one fucking cable to plug in, or better yet, shoot it through the air like the internet.

np there lady! :)
nakamichi are very good. i have an old Onkyo 3-channel amp that rules. the thing has an awesome early 70's brushed knobs and maple sides look to it, and never, not once has that thing shut off from the temp sensor (which still works cause i tested it).
i swear, the sweetest amp i wish i had is an older Mcintosh 3-channel 300w that my friend's grandfather has. it is so fucking powerful, and no matter how hot it gets, the theatre it is sitting in never turns off. too bad they are like 3K... :(
