I know this is an old thread but i felt the need to chime in on your set up and how lucky you were to come across such a beautiful set up. When i was 16 i was working with someone who would go to yard sales and but furniture to sell at the flea market. Well one day i came across a pioneer sx-850 and the same set of speakers u have in your pictures. I paid 15 for the reciever and 10 for the speakers. Best deal i have ever had. The receiver unfortunately didnt work due to a bad resistor on the pcb. Pulled out my soldering iron and put in a new one. Bam the stereo was back to working order. The subs were really worn like yours and i ended up tearing them while bumping it one day. I later replaced the subs with 2 infinity 1220w's those boxes are awesome and put out more bass then any other speaker i have ever owned. I have been dreaming about owning a 1250 for a long time although my 850 is by far the best receiver i have ever owned. I still have it and still prefer it over anything else. You hit a gold mine just like i did. Im noticing a decent 1250 runs around 1500 on ebay. Ouch!!! Guess im mot getting 1 anyday soon lol. With a little tlc these old vintage beasts will outlive anything and anyone. Kudos on your find.
