Marantz 2270

1971–1974 · 70 W/ch

The receiver that defines the silver-faced Marantz sound for many collectors: warm, unhurried and built like a tank, with the blue-lit gyro-touch dial that started a thousand restorations.

Crowd #3 · Editors' #1

Pioneer SX-1250

1976–1978 · 160 W/ch

Pioneer's statement piece of the mid-1970s, with a split-winding toroidal supply and enough clean power to drive almost any speaker of its day. The fit and finish still impress.
