Question about the Silver Faced Pioneer line
« on: 25 Jul 2013, 02:11 pm »
I was wondering if there is a web site that describes the differences between the various models of receivers and amplifiers.
For example what would the difference be between a sx737, sx750 and sx780 ?
Are they just cosmetic or are there some engineering differences ?

I am shopping for some "silver faced" gear but there sure seems to be a lot of different model numbers  :scratch:

Within a given series, the power output and number of features increased as the price point increased, similar to the way it is today with AVRs.

THE definitive site used to be Anthony Young's Silver Pioneer reference site, which unfortunately has been down for a while now.  It's still archived, though, and is a great place to start:
