Summary:
I'm going to buy a 790 tommorrow at a thrift store for $78. It's probably from the 70's and it's made in Japan. It makes all the receivers sold nowadays look like flimsy crap. I've tried it out and it seems to be a powerhouse. The VU meters that indicate power go to 270 watts for each channel. It has bass, mid
and treble faders, high and low filters, a mic jack and fader, and I believe
that it has A, B, and C speaker outs and TWO phono inputs.
I heard it hooked up to some huge junky PA speakers and it still sounded
very powerful and musical. It's a monster with soothing blue light on the
tuner scale and four VU's on the front. It brings me back to the days when
the stereo receiver was a calm and pleasant friend that was built like a
brick house.
If anybody has or had a 790 please write a review. It is a cool receiver.
