I use a Pioneer SX850 in my garage system, and it is terrific!! These silver face top-of-the-line classics from the golden age of solid state receivers can drive just about any speakers effortlessly and cleanly.
Not only that, but these silver face classics are downright gorgeous, gyro knobs, buttons, levers, dials, they've got it all!
I have my SX850 driving a pair of old Dahlquist DQM-905s sourced by my 10 year old JVC CD changer (you know, the same one with a $10 garage sale value which trounced the Cambridge D500SE in an A/B test). This system sounds wonderful.
If I could justify getting a pair of Axioms for my garage system I'd love to hear the Pioneer driving a pair of M60s or M80s, but if I did that, there'd be trouble and I'd probably be sleeping in the garage.
