The Golden Age of receivers appears to have been from
about 1983 to 1990.
That's pretty close. The golden age of receivers started with the
availability of low cost power transistors in complementary pairs. They
removed the last barrier to flat out design excellence. Starting in about
1992 progress in design has simply meant the addition of capabilities and
features to keep up with the release of new types of software.
Perfectly good solid state amplifiers can be built with only N or P
channel devices. There are even those who believe it preferable to do
so.
