I've gone through stages. I used to think an all matching system was best, then I thought different manufacturers was best, now I'm trying to keep them as much the same as I can. I've got alot equioment throughout the house, though. I have always loved Pioneer, and regret replacing my 8 year old cd/stereo in my truck with a Sony. It's a great stereo, but the reception was much better in the Pioneer. I guess I'm on a Sony kick lately, because that's what I replaced my main home receiver with last year when my 1988 vintage Pioneer receiver finally died. My pride and joy, however, is my 1979 Pioneer SX-1980. Arguably the best receiver Pioneer ever made. 540 watts (two channel, 270 watts in 4 channel) in a monsterously big receiver. Dang thing weighs over 80 pounds, and cost $1250 new (in 1980). Technology may be able to make receivers smaller, yet still have the same power, but I have never heard a receiver that sounds better than the SX-1980.
Here's one that is selling today on eBay, to give you an idea.
I'm starting to miss my other Pioneer products!
I still have my 6-disk Pioneer cd changer, but usually use my JVC 100 cd player just because it's easier.
Take care,

P.S. How you doin', Rick?
