I Just purchased a new reciever...

VINTAGE PIONEER AM FM STEREO RECEIVER AMPLIFIER SX-1300

This is the first REAL reciever I've purchased on my own (I'm a college student), I got lucky, and got it for a decent price. When looking at it, it looks alot better than the current model I own...

These are the only spec's the seller has sent me thus far.

PRODUCT INFO:

* A & B SPEAKERS SO THAT YOU CAN RUN IT IN 2 DIFFERENT ROOMS
* Pioneer Stereo Receiver SX-1300
* Graphic Equalizer
* Random Preset 24 FM/AM Stations
* 4 speaker jacks
* 5 inputs


I'm not sure how powerfull, or how good it is, but I'm sure it's alot better than the setup I currently have.

Comments please...

I hope your just using that for music b/c it wont be any good for a HT setup

How much did you pay for it? I have an old Onkyo Pro-Logic receiver I would've sold for a little bit of nothing. I didn't think it would sell because of the newer 5.1-7.1 speaker outputs on the newer receivers with DD & DTS available for a couple hundred bucks. Guess I was wrong.

Well I paid 50$ for it, was that to much? If so I'll sell it to a pawn shop to get some money back out of it.... or put it back on ebay :-/ Well I gotta start somewhere, and my outputs on this reciever was giving out.

How much for the pro logic?

I would sell it to you, but I'm not that kind of person. The HT receivers with at least 5.1 in the description is the way to go. $50 is not a bad price for the knowledge you will get from it. I would look for the Pioneer listed in this system: http://www.audioholics.com/showcase/systemguide/1Kentrylevelsystem.php

Thanks for the link, once I save up a bit more I'll purchase something similar to this for my entry HT reciever. I guess I just need something to replace my current reciever since that one is giving out on me.

There are lower priced receivers availible. Just make sure it has all the inputs and outputs you will need to get started. I would also try to be sure and get at least 5.1 for future use with dvd. If you put your mouse on the "ADD TO CART", it will show the best price.

Low budget option

For your budget, you should consider a refurbished Onkyo or Denon receiver from e-cost or other authorized dealers. They include a limited waranty.

I just scored this reciever for around the same price as the one above. I'll be trading in that in at a pawn shop for some cash to pay on this one.
