Look at the pic above... Is that not a face you could love? This is a sleeper, a nice, solid low-power winner.
Yep, I own the one-step above 525, and it's a low-watt charmer, good sound, some pretty good volume with efficent speakers, a nice tuner, etc. Good looking unit to, nice proportions:yes:
And yeah, the infamous speaker plugs...
I've owned a SX-434 since the late 1970's and it was always a decent performer. Don't know what the difference is between it and the 424 - it does have standard speaker binding posts (thankfully).
One step above would be the SX-434?...Yes/No??????????:scratch2:

Nope. Next generation of the model roll. The step up in both rolls of the model line was the SX-525/535. The SX-4x4 was the bottom of the line brought into the US back then.
There were other lower-end receivers in the Pioneer product line in the US but they were branded Craig by Pioneer and included a line up of 8-track/cassette players for auto use plus compact stereo/All-in-One stereo systems favored by college students in small dorm rooms.

The only differences I 've seen on the 434 vs 424 were
1.) Screw downs for 434, funky plugs for the 424.
2.) BALANCE Control 434, Dual Volume control 424
3.) Different knobs.
4.) Internal differences on schematic.

But when the Military ships it home for you from the Exch, or during a PCS there is a lot you can move. I had a 2,000# limit for a PCS move. And I was single!
