Just aquired - Pioneer SX-424 and Magnavox Speakers

[salb203]

Today I passed by George's (Toasted Almonds) house to pick up some more goodies. I picked up 2 pairs of late 60's/early 70's Magnavox speakers with 10" woofers and metal horn tweeter, a minty Pioneer SX-424, and some other amps and a reverb.

I took some quick pictures of the SX-424 and Magnavox speakers. Let me tell you, these little speakers sound great and has so much treble, my ears are starting to bleed that I have to turn the treble knob on the receiver to 9 o'clock. At 15 watts per channel and the Mag speakers, its more than my ears can handle. I wonder how efficient the speakers are.

All the receiver needs is 1 fuse bulb to be replaced, the FM radio is very sensitive.

I love my recently acquired SX-424.

It sounds warm in a tube like way, and powerful beyond what the specified 15 watts / channel would have you believe.

The tuner section is unexpectedly good for a what must have been a rather affordable item in its time.
