vintage receiver for JBL L100's

and it soundsl like the pio is the one with it. i dont know what the sansui has so i cant comment.

if the marantz were a 2270, i would say go for that but the 2230 and 35 are underpowered unless youre in a SMALL toom.

if the sansui has more than 60wpc, it might be a good one to go with.

I'd definitely recommend the Marantz recievers. As others have noted, they are absolute tanks but they last forever, look very cool in a retro sorta way (everything old is new again ) and put out real watts. What is the sensitivity of your JBL's? Just because a speaker is rated to 200 watts doesn't mean you should feed it that much. I'd also consider vintage Fischer receivers.

Hope this helps

But the vintage ones that have high power are all super expensive collector items. Seriously cool looking too!
