I need to replace my old Grundig Fine Arts R23 Receiver. It was used primarily between a Thorens TD 126 MK II turntable and pair of AR3a speakers--so this is vintage stuff, obviously not kept around because there is nothing better, but because I like it that way.

The room is about 40 m2, and I play either classical (then more often CDs) or classic rock, soul, and pop from the 60s, 70s and 80s (in this case LPs). It can't get really loud as I live in an apartment building.

Budget is up to around $800. So far, I've been looking at the Cambridge Audio Topaz SR20 and the Marantz PM6005.

Does anyone have advice on what would be best to use in this set up? I'd appreciate it.
