This is really wicked! 270 wpc!!
I bought my Pioneer SX-V90 in 85’ and i loved it,i did get another as the display was to hard to read after many years of use. Its also very clean 125 wpc @0.003%THD
Peak is 156wpc @0.03%THD. Super coean.
Yes id love one of these someday!!😊😎

The 1250 is awesome as well for sure.
I gave up my 1080 (120 watts per channel) plus cash to get this.

I do still have a 980 though. Also a nice receiver.

But the 1250 is very nice and collectable.

XX50 parts are way easier to find than the xx80 series. I love VU's as much as the next guy but parts availability makes a difference in my buying decisions. SX-950 (all I need and more) is my main.

My manuals came in the mail today!

Had the 1980 in the shop for a tune up. They are cleaning all the switches knob controls.
They said someone has put money into it before and the caps are original and not bulging.

I get to pick it back up next week.

Beautiful receiver!! Legendary build quality - needs a huge pair of floor standers to pound the music out of 😀

My two vintage Sansui speakers can only handle 1/4 of it's volume.
