I am talking specifically about used vacuum tube receivers. These are
so old by now, that they are living on borrowed time, unless they
have had a thorough once over by a competent tech. Finding a
competent tech is a total gamble. Recommending one of these to a non
enthusiast is like recommending a '69 Fiat to someone who is looking
at buying a brand new Toyota.

Good point of reference. How about this: Is it more like
recommending a $12,000 post-hole digger to a guy who needs to sink
some stakes for his tomato plants in the back yard, or more like
recommending a great-sounding pair of speakers to Arnii Kroodork?





You guy's really are blowing this out of proportion. Ofcourse he/she is
going to want to look for a tubed unit in good operating condition.

My reference to cheap speakers are suitable speakers that can be
purchased "cheaply" in the used market, and new as well.

I am currently into low powered SET's. To my ears, they are the best
sounding amps available. I am waiting for a 4wpc Philips AG9016
integrate to be delivered as we speak. I can't get enough!

Nope, no more hard, flat, bright, fake, fatiguing sound of Stoic-Scrape
for me (dont even bother,Arny)!
