this amplifier was a real good sounding one when new, also was a high-end amplifier from pioneer with Urushi style finishings but this are old try to learn about them before paying a fortune for a damaged and not perfect condition power amplifier, i´ve seen them looking good with a good description of what is being sold but also saw damaged amplifiers in very bad condition saying it works ,beautifull sound, buy one and you´ll be satysfied but before try to learn about them , i had one new with the pre-amplifier that makes pair with this and it was very nice, but i had before the 70´s power amplifier and pre-amplifier this from 76, and when buying this one i thought i was modernising my equipment but far from the truth ,the pioneer from 76 still works perfect and several times better than this late 80´s power and pre-amplifier but compared with what was around from other known brands it was simply the best with a compatible pair of speakers ,i bought a pair of huge and expensive cerwin-vegas that gave to this amplifier a perfect sound not all made it sound good i first tried in a hi-fi shop 4 or 5 types of speakers but for the sound i wanted cerwin-vega was the answer, i even first considered buying some celestions when they were made by celestion ,not available in this world anymore not for no reason the brand that equiped the most known Marshal amplifiers was desmissed for it´s china fabricated speakers with english specifications ,but no quality control in that part of the world and two brands were destroyd kef & Celestion ,and the last good speakers in Europe i discover that joined the group , Wharfedale, they were great ,now i don´t know or don´t even want to know , this all because ,first this amplifier is a very god sounding one but either than being old and could not be restored ,also one as to try a good set of speakers because one might think the problem is the amplifier and not the so bad speakers that are being sold today, there are a few brands that are incredible expensive but those are greatRead full review
