Yeah, forgot to mention that Sansui had some good stuff in the 70's as well. When I bought the SX-850 I had many choices, it wasn't easy. A friend of mine had bought one and hooked it up to pair of huge Kenwood speakers. To this day I can't figure out how he got permission to do that... the SPL's were ear shattering. Once I auditioned his and saw how stunning it looked I got one. On the Midway he was part of the "Roof Rat" gang. I spent two staight years aboard that ship and never thought I'd ever see it again. Then bam...after 30 years it's in San Diego. Unbelievable. Old Navy ships rarely turn up as museums. I actually hooked up with a friend I worked with in 76 and we went on our first tour three years ago. Made two other visits since. It smelled the same (jet fuel) totally amazing. The Pioneer is now used with a pair of Sansui SP-5500X speakers.
