Try going down to the local sports bar and asking for a show of hands on how many prefer a good microbrewed beer to Coors or Bud? Then do the same in a combination micro-brewery/restaurant. Its a matter of taste.It would be interesting to also post this survey on the General, SET and Bottlehead forums (among others). There really is no right answer (well, maybe a politically correct one on each forum). After all, you are just asking for an opinion on a very focussed, topic-specific forum.
You might ask for identification of the amplification in the responders prime system AND what they think represents the best vintage receiver.
If you are truly wondering, pull your receiver and take it down to the local 'high end' shop or a friends who has a high end system (oops, can't admit to having a friend who has a high end system!?!). Tell them you are interested in new amplification and want to compare their stuff with your current amp/receiver.
