And you are lucky if the 1000TW is more than about 15 watts per channel.
This model predates the FTC enforcements of the '70s.

People should stop selling amps based on power consumption rather than
output. Either it's ignorance or dishonesty. Take your pick.

That model is rated at 50wrms/ch.

If anything, audio amps made during the 70s were *underrated* in terms
of output power.

'Specially compared to the consumer junk produced today.


I'm pretty skeptical. As I recall, this model has pretty small heat sinks.
Pioneer didn't really get with the program til after the SX-828 etc. Many
models were over rated prior to that time.

If I remember I'll look it up at work - I've got most of the old Pioneer
manuals.

In any case the guy selling this piece overstated the power by at least a
factor of 3X .
