The receiver 'Power Wars'

[stuwee]

This is what it was all about for the Big Boxes! It started in the 70's and some late joiners in the 80's Meet the Monster Receivers......

I tried to list them from the highest rated power output into 8ohms to the least

I'll go back in and post specs later

Pics grabbed from the net, I thank the photographers in advance

The Sanyo Plus Series 200, jbeckva and I love the Plus Series, just Love this very rare bird! The amp separates from the pre/tuner section. It has front panel adjustable phono cartridge loading, I think it's the only big receiver to have that.
