Last big stereo system I had ran:

Dynaco Pre-amp
Dynaco 400 amp  200w/channel
Revox 10" reel to reel tape deck, Model G36
Teak cassette deck.
AR Direct Drive turntable  
Shure V-90 (I think it was?) cartridge
2 AR9 Tower speakers.

The Dynaco were both kits I built.  Studio performance at a bargain price.   They were often used/modified by sound engineers and their mods were incorporated into the next model kit.

You audiophiles are neglecting the Marantz Gold Series that would loosen sheetrock screws from homes...and came factory with over 150W per channel.

They were about 60lbs. and wood finished. But the receivers had a FM dial that would "glide" from 88.1 to 107.9 with a touch....
Including analog signal strength meter....

Inputs and outputs out the door, with Cerwin Vega Studio series monitors made Peter Frampton albums (on my Kenwood turntable), put you front row....

And yes I had an Akai reel to reel. Certain Pink Floyd songs still give me chills/flashbacks.... ::)

That stuff was like old muscle cars....."Horsepower"...and WATTS....

I got a Sony LCD over a year ago and it's a great TV, decent sound. The only time I use the stereo, other than tunes, is when we are watching a movie.
You need HDMI cables to get HD quality, get them at Costco or order online.

Ad an HD DVR and you're all set. (I haven't watched a commercial in months)  ;)
