Hi all,
I have three, yes three, different quad receivers. All need work. Trying to decide what to concentrate on fixing.
1) Sansui QRX-7001. This one mostly works, need to clean the mode switch and figure out why the front channels are swapped - I'm thinking I messed something up when I replaced the relay.
2) Marantz 4270. Friend of mine gave it to me, and I managed to track down a CD-400 and also a SQA-2B board. Unfortunately this one has been in the shop more than an old Triumph. I had high hopes for this because I was thinking of adding a two channel power amp to build a higher powered quad system than the 7001.
3) and the dark horse. A Kenwood KR-9940. This one I've had for years kicking around in the back of a closet. Two dead channels. I'm thinking in the years since I've acquired it though, I might have a stab at fixing it as my skill level has improved.
Of those three, knowing that all three need repair, which would you use? The 7001 works OK, but the front speakers in the quad system are Infinity RS-5bs and I can't help but think that they'd open up better with more power than I'm getting out of the 7001.
