[Electronics-Talk] help assessing the market for accessible stereo receiver

[Gary Lee]

alas my old trusty pioneer receiver has reached end of life.

So, I am looking for suggestions on accessible hi fi gear.
Not in to home theater yet.  But have an apple tv, and may get a blue ray 
player.
Still have an old zenith vhs hi fi vcr, and a real live cassette deck and 
turn table.

What is the sens of the group on accessiblel receeivers?
