: Those are all excellent models you mentioned. The last two though- 221, 331 are lower in power than the others- the top model in that Line was the 881. For receivers, I like the 9090DB ...7070 models and the G Series models- those that are 60 Watts rms and higher, in particular. Usually the more power it has and some extra features, the more expensive it will be, so you should come up with an idea of what the max price is you are willing to spend. AU integrateds are all Excellent- its difficult to choose just one- thats why I have a collection of them! :)

Thanks for the help. Am looking at 9900Z, 9090DB, G8000, G7700, G7500, AU9900, and AU717 per your advice. Hard to get wattage specs on all of them and also real differences. Have not had hands on experience. Also what current values are and things to watch for. Any further discussion would be appreciated. Don't have big bucks to spend but do have 45+ years of enthusiastic listening. Thanks
