Yeah, but here we don't necessarily call old a bad thing. 

 Almost into the tube era I think. 

Was that a '60's child?  It's a rarity for sure.

Not sure but I think about 69' or 70'. I can have it for a song basically. Maybe tomorrow I'll go over with some headphones and give it a listen. One bonus is that it comes with the wood case and the condition is almost mint.

Great thanks.

If you hadn't already, you might want to research it over at ak. That receiver isn't highly regarded. I've seen a few if them on cl really cheap. The last one was on there for a couple of months for 50.00 with no takers. Given what you already have, you may be disappointed.

Moody...you are probably right. I did an ebay search and an AK search. The "sold price" on ebay was never more than $100 and the AK results were not very favorable. Oh well...it's always good to keep your radar out for these old Pioneers.

Funny you mention that, as i just started watching "The Wire" for the first time and i have it on right now.
 
But to be honest, sometimes its not only pretty but damn beatiful! (the following is not my Scott 399 receiver).

Yes, when things work out...

Like the looks of that..........how do the JVC's sound out of that? Bass must be amazing.

 

[gikigill]

Haven't tested the JVC SZ2000 although I fear the bass might finally crack my skull

 
Tested with the Fischer,s above and the AD900X. The Fischer's sound balanced while the AD900X pumps up the bass.
 
The amp sounds sweet and balanced until you hit the bass knob, No veiled mids/treble and  I shudder to hear what it will do on a bassy closed can!!
 
Listening to ATBs 9PM Till I Come is a great experience. The bass goes deep and hits hard on the open air AD900X

 
The VU meters obviously greatly enhance the whole experience. Lets just say I am looking for a second A-5100

gikigill,
 
i love the look of the onkyo and it looks great at night.  if i ever come across one im definitely buying it.

 

[gikigill]

It's very simple but elegant. Iron punch in a velvet glove with huge power and a sweet sound.

Might just seal off my vintage collection with an endgame Spec 4 and an AU-9900. The Onkyo is very well built, not endgame but very close. Just pressing the power button is so satisfying

If I'm not mistaken Spec 2 is a bit higher than Spec 4. 250 vs 150 wpc (yep, have one) and its meters show a peak of 500 per side. How nuts is that? How would you ever push a speaker to that level? Concert time!
