McIntosh sound for 10% of the cost
1 of 2 found this helpful This line of Luxman products is a high water mark in their history. The R-113, -114, -115, -117 share the same audio characteristics - warm, smooth, articulate - but with increasing power culminating in the R-117's 160 watts per channel, plenty for almost anyone's demands. One caveat, though. Although all of these receivers are wonderful, the reliability of the R-117 model is much lower than the others. I've owned a couple dozen examples from this line, including at least five or six of the R-117 and care is required to get a sound example, not a lemon. Make sure of the history of the unit you're considering (and find a very good electronics tech to have in reserve). ALL of the failures I've experienced with Luxmans of this vintage have been in the R-117. But I still keep at least a couple of 'em on hand because they are worth the headaches. If you want to avoid all risk and can accept a little less power, consider the R-115. If you need the extra power of the 117, go for it. Even if you have to pay a tech to put it right, it's still only a fraction of the cost of McIntosh and sounds almost as nice.

Solid value for the money
Let me begin by saying that I have become very disappointed with Seiko for the lack of quality and reliability that their under-$200 mechanical watches display. I was persuaded by the reputation of quality that Seiko has established to purchase self-winding Seiko watches not once, not twice, but three times, each time spending $150 or so for a traditionally styled steel watch. Each one of them failed, and not one of them was accurate within a minute per day. I was SURE that I had received lemons the first and second times but finally realized that Seiko’s cheaper watches are junk. After reading hundreds of watch reviews, including at least twenty popular brands, I finally decided that my mistake was buying a lower tier watch and needed to move up a little to a more robust movement. I settled on a Seiko with a 6R15 movement. I already own a Rolex Datejust watch, but wanted a cheaper, but tough and reliable watch for everyday use. I considered a Seiko Spring Drive watch, and if I didn’t already have a Rolex, I probably would have bought one of them. But the 6R15 movement seems to be a really good quality/price balance. It’s a hacking movement so it’s easy to keep it within a few seconds of the true time, and I am seeing accuracy within +2/-3 seconds per day after settling in for several weeks. I’m perfectly fine with that performance in an automatic watch for under $400. Not a fan of battery- or solar-powered watches (and I use tubes in my audio systems), and this watch, I believe, offers great bang for the buck.
