Hi,
RE the Eicos,the HF 35's are world beaters.Big expensive potted transformers,mullard circuit,getting rare and going up in value.The Hf 87 is just barely less impressive
and is still a great value,less veiled than a Dynaco ST70.The Eico ST 70 is a crazy value at $200.00 or so,but suffers from lots of switches and controls in the front end,so not quite up to speed with one of the others coupled with a wide bandwith modern preamp.I've never heard the Fisher gear or dealt with the Quad compatibility issues,so Chris can probably get you up to speed on these issues.Overall,Eico stuff tends to sound more "modern" than most vintage gear,and currently is still relatively inexpensive(although finding a deal on an HF81 is now impossible).See if Chris and the others agree.
Best,
Pat
