I worked at a Tech Hifi ~1978 where these were sold. Yes, they were one of the better sounding if not best Japanese lines back then. Don't know much about latter models.
Caveats:
- The good stuff is a good 30+ years old so I would question how good original units might work these days. Once refurbed or repaired, all bets are off....results could be good or bad in any case.
- these might do better than similar new gear at same price point or not. There is a chance, but hard to say. Results will vary.
- a bigger financial investment on newer gear researched properly to best fit your needs would likely deliver better results.
