Look at the JVC RX-500B. It has 100 w/ch, digital tuner with 30
presets (15 AM and 15 FM), remote control and 6-band programmable
equalizer.

It's simply the most phenominal receiver I've ever seen and mine has
served me happily for a year and half. They're currently being closed
out at the local retailer in leu of a "new for '87" model not yet
released. Latest price I saw was $460.

When it was released, Audio magazine raved about all aspects of it
including superb FM sensitivity, higher than rated watts per ch, and
exceptionally clean amplifier.

			      
                            Hope you can find it!
