I don't know about the King receiver, but I've owned 2 different 321's over the years. Had the larger Yamaha receiver installed on both...made a huuuuge difference.

Love my 1975 B&H Imperial for the sound, but sometimes I think of nabbing another 321....

I have to yet to find a more consistent intermediate Euph than the Yamaha 321. I like the 321 over the King for the following reasons:

Mulcahy hasn't used a 321 with the CSO since 2001 at the latest.

It does appear that he was using a 321 in this 1990 CSO concert , but every video or picture I've seen since has him on a 3+1 compensator (looks like a Willson to me), starting with the 2001 CSO brass Bud Herseth retirement concert ...
