I'm really close to buying a fully restored 1970s vintage Japanese amp. I'm trying to decide between several, actually (Kenwoods and Sansui's). I have no clue what these sound like. Am I crazy to believe I'll get equivalent or better sound quality to modern amps with, say, a Sansui AU717, AU9900, Kenwood KA-8100, etc.? Which models do you recommend that are still reasonably priced (I'm excluding Accuphase, Luxman, McIntosh, etc. for this reason)?
