Hi Everyone,
I have a Luxman R-113 that I bought around 1988. It's just starting to drop the right channel after about 10 minutes. I doubt that I can get it fixed.
Anyway, my problem is that I love the amp. (It has a very natural full sound. Not tweaking is required.) I just tried a Denon AVR-3600, and it sounds good, but it missing the natural and musical sound of the Luxman. Even my non-criticial wife agrees.
So, if any of you have experience with the Luxman R-series and have found something that sounds similar, please let me know. I'm looking for a basic 2-channel reciever. The less features the better. The main requirement is a natural full sound that doesn't need to be tweaked. My luxman reminds me of my tube guitar amps verse solid state amps.
In general, I'm a newbie to audio equipment. I found what I like the first time around. So please keep that in mind if you respond. Also, price is an object. I'd rather not spend more than $600, but I don't know the market.
Thanks.
