I am considering buying a new stereo (receiver/amplifier combo) -- pref-
erably for about $200, though I might be talked into paying up to $300.

Some people have recommended various models in the Sony STR-x60 (or STR-
AVx60?) series -- such as the "460", available in one store for $210.

For what it may be worth, the June '85 Stereo Review liked the "760",
and the September '85 Consumer Reports liked the "260".  (Please, no
generic Consumer Reports flames.)

I have looked at some of these Sonys in some stores, and they appear
to have a good set of features as far as I can tell.  The front-panel
layout appeals to me (though, of course, I don't want to judge a book
by its cover).

Any comments on these units -- or on Sony stereos in general?
