Post Subject: Looking at "vintage" integratedsPosted by Antonio J. on: 8/3/2006
I owned a Luxman LV-117 which I found pretty "right" musically driving some 93dB/w/m JBL's I had eons ago. In its time, there was a LV-103 which was also well regarded, but that I never listened to, so I cannot talk about it. They can be found from time to time at Ebay for very sensible prices.
I remember the LV-117 as a way more musically interesting integrated than the Krell I had later (but I was quite ignorant by that time and I traded it), and that any other NAD, Rotel, Onkyo, Denon, Marantz or Sony at the time I bought mine (late 80's), pretty powerful driving more difficult speakers than the JBL's, and run quite cold. It kept me very happy for 15 years. I don't know how it would compare to any Sansui.Rerurn to Romy the Cat's Site
