Pioneer House Sound from the 70s

Back in 70' I just started discovering the HI FI. But I do remember Pioneer sound of 80'. I had A 80 and later A 777 Int. amplifiers with the S 1010 speakers. That was the sound.

usblues, i remember the sequerra 1 tuner as the best at that time.

back in the late 70's the power race was on. can you imagine 300 watts per chanell for a receiver?

Here's another vote to go out and find an original and enjoy the real thing; they're out there, often in very nice condition.  In the office for the past five years I've been listening to an SX1980 driving Joseph Audio Pulsars with a Velodyne SPL sub.  You like your Led Zep analog-sweet and LOUD, just like you remember it: this is the horse's mouth.  And, as folks have correctly noted, these late 1970s Pioneers (and others of the era) are serious eye candy that beats the look and build of much of today's stuff.  No, obviously it is not going to do what your high end system does, but that's not what this is about.
