As many of you, I've always been a big fan of Carver gear. My first set of separates was a Carver c2 preamp and a M1.0 amp I bought used in 1989. Loved that set up, and my love for Carver gear started. I just picked up a HR-752 receiver in mint condition for $60. Hooked it up and it sounds awesome. Plenty of power, great phono section, has preamp outs and main outs, so it's very versatile. The B set of speakers can be set to ambiance, almost like rear surrounds.
A great receiver, I recommend highly if you every run across one for sale.
