I'm looking for an older Pioneer SX- model receiver. I have a Pioneer SX-450 which is rated at 15watts, but I'm afraid I'm over driving it with my 2 pair of speakers. The faceplate lights are constantly dimming, though there is no distortion. Anyway, I'm just looking for something a little more powerful... doesn't have to be the SX-1980 or anything, I'd settle for the -650 or something around there. Thanks,

Ludicrous gibs!

    Look HERE . Lots of vintage stuff including Pioneer. I have a SX-3800 (65 wpc) that is a mid level unit from the late 70s. I'll probably keep it as it still works and sounds good. The tuners on these old receivers is better than most you can get today. (My dad is using it now)

    If you're anywhere near South Jersey, I have a working Pioneer QX-949 QUADROPHONIC receiver. It can be used in two channel mode, and it's about 68-70wpc when it is. It's 40 or 45wpc in discrete 4 channel mode.

    It's a moose, both weight and sizewise. You don't want to pay shipping on this sucker. I want 100 U.s dollars for it.
