Another 160wpc Pioneer monster! It's hard not to love Pioneer steel faced big power receivers. It's got a little bit of the typical scratching on the face and the top of the bezel, but nothing too dramatic or visible from listening distance. This gorgeous piece of gear widely considered to be the absolute best of the era.

- Liner Notes
- When you go to buy a new receiver, ask yourself these questions:Does its FM tuner section guarantee high performance of spurious rejection as well as high sensitivity?Does it include the very latest electronics circuit technology to assure a constant stable and high quality sound reproduction from small to large power output?Are you going to be proud to own it for a long, long time?Pioneer's new and elegantly designed SX-1250 AM/FM receiver provides a resounding yes to each of these questions - and then some.No other Pioneer receiver provides such incomparable FM performance and sensitivity and then combines it with mammoth continuous power output of 160W per channel, min RMS at 8 Ohms, from 20 Hertz to 20,000 Hertz, with no more than 0.1% total harmonic distortion.
