Used to own a Pioneer SA-706, and loved it. Kept it for 17-years, until it was beyond repair. Ideally I would love another one at some point: Not necessarily the same model but something like a SA-7800. Just love the dancing wattage lights or VU meters, great aesthetics compared to most modern amps. However, I'm choked off a little by the reliability of an amp of that vintage.

No issues with the Leema, a real hoot to listen to, but like most modern equipment they're a little bland to look at.

Your views on 1970s and 80s Pioneer amps, please.
