I Finally got the SX-1980's little Brother........

[Charlie04SiR]

Ironically I stumbled onto this beast while surfing CL and even more ironic, it was located in my old Hometown of Des Moines, Iowa. Talked with the seller for hours about things and people of Des Moines, telling him I am a native of the area. It is the SX-1980's little brother, the SX-1280. This beast was a little dirty when I got it, I cleaned it up with some elbow grease, tested it with my Marantz M10's and boy oh boy does the old girl put out some beautiful sonic waves of pure power right at 185 WPC RMS and then some, it was peaking much higher than that on the power meters. I excercised it long enough to have it generate a little heat and then I gave it a rest, then snapped the pic you see here, still with the top walnut cover off.
