I miss my SX780 that I bought new many years ago - just a thing of beauty. Sounds like you want a monster though - I'd say 780 on up.
Well, I stumbled upon my first Pioneer today. Instead of the SX-1250 or SX-1280, my first Pioneer is a measly 50 watt SX-750 (actually an SX-5560) which I got for a relatively reasonable price because it has a few issues. It has a very low constant humming sound (regardless of input or volume) and needs a few bulbs replaced.
The low constant hum does not increase with volume so when I turn up music I can't really hear the hum because the music drowns it out. Any ideas what it might be?
The SX-5560 has a very nice crisp detailed sound, good bass and has plenty of power even at only 50 watts I can tell I'm going to like the sound of Pioneer receivers.
I wonder how much better the higher models will sound?
