I am considering buying a new Pioneer VSX 1017 rated at 150W vs the Vintage Pioneer SX 1250. I see the SX 1250 coming up on ebay selling for about $500 for one with no chips or scratches in it.
I would like your opionion on how they compair. I just bought a Harmon Kardon HK 3485 125W. It plays the music louder clearer than my Pioneer 750 from the mid 70's. but it feels more cheaply made when handling it. Also it doesn't get as many FM channels as my Pioneer did.
Are these old Pioneers sx 1250 and sx1280 worth the kind of money I see them going for? I would hate to buy one and have something go wrong. I assume they are expensive to get fixed? How good is the Pioneer VSX 94 in compairison?
I am using Pioneer HPM 100 speakers for the stereo in the living room and Pioneer DSS-9 for my bedroom. I don't know why there isn't more write ups on the DSS-9s. They seem to have a better overall sound than the HPM 100s. Thank you for you advice. Sincerely,Shaun
