I am fussy about how I listen to my music. I have always been impressed with Bose (I know...kinda expensive) but a good clean sound and equally impressive on hard rock, jazz, rap and exotica. Not a 70's sound per se, but overall excellent sound from the system. I don't have Bose for my home (would love to have a system though), but I do have it in my car and I listen to some music at full volume and I love a heavy base sound. Bose can handle a pretty beefy low end all the way up to a nice ping off a symbol. I suggest you go to a store that has a sound room to listen to the various receivers and speakers, it makes a difference...that is how I got turned on to Bose many years ago.

How you set your speakers up in your room and the sound quality of your room also has a lot to do with the sound you will get. If you have lots of echo, you can reduce that with use of heavy curtains, positioning of furniture, rugs, and even what you have on your walls (emulate baffles to reduce the echo).

I'll be interested in hearing what you decide on.
