Seeking to exploit the wide-ranging expertise of this motley crew: I have pretty much the stereo system I bought when I graduated from college in 1974. The core is a pair of EPI 100 speakers (replaced the woofers ~10 years ago; they sound wonderful) and a Pioneer SX525 receiver (replaced the power transistors ~15 years ago). I only listen to classical music.
The receiver is showing its age: the sound breaks up (especially in the winter), and the left channel often cuts out. I could probably get it fixed, but then I would be without a receiver for 3 or 4 weeks. Or, I could replace it. I'm looking for something that will accept input from a turntable, CD player, DVD player, and maybe a computer; has a decent FM tuner; will supply ~30-40 watts per channel through my 5 ohm EPI speakers; and will sound really good. By really good, I mean making an orchestra, piano, mezzo-soprano, or organ sound like an orchestra, piano, mezzo-soprano, or organ. It's been so long since I researched this stuff that I don't even know where to begin. Any suggestions?
