Of the vintage quad equipment out there, are the amps and receivers becoming least likely to appreciate in value due to the abundance of 5.1 receivers that have 6 analogue inputs?
These newer units with stronger newer electronics and lower prices I see must have dented the market somewhat.
Where tape decks, CD-4, and SQ decoders are needed for playback and conversions, those receivers are not so mandatory anymore are they?
I was in a friends garage a month ago and saw he had an old Marantz four-channel receiver that looked to be in stunning condition. But the reality is a newer (AVR) one might just sound cleaner and have fewer issues to deal with.
Anyway I loved the look of that old Marantz 4-chan sitting there. It's his wife's that once belonged to her father.
