VINTAGE COLLECTIBLE PIONEER SX-1250 MUSCLE RECEIVER EXCELLENT CONDITION
$2000 by Bookoo Fan 8922 in Fairfield, 1 days ago
If you wanted the most POWERFUL receiver in the world, you had one choice - the Pioneer's top of the line receiver. Introduced in 1976 at a retail price of $900 (over $3,700 in 2015 dollars!), the SX-1250 at 160 RMS watts per channel into 8 ohms and 200 watts RMS into 4 ohms. was the second generation "MONSTER receiver" offered by Pioneer, successor to the 110 watt per channel SX1010 first offered in 1974. In an escalating competition with Marantz, Sansui, and Kenwood for bragging rights as manufacturer of the world's most powerful receiver, Pioneer engineers spared no expense in designing an amazing piece of equipment that has become a LEGEND among audiophiles worldwide - even to this day. In subsequent years, more powerful receivers have been constructed and marketed, but in my humble opinion, the SX-1250 outshines them all. The LARGEST receiver Pioneer had ever built up to that time. The receiver measured 22.0 inches wide, 18.75 inches deep, and 7.50 inches high. The receiver weighs in at 64.25 pounds!
