Vintage Asylum

Not a huge Pioneer fan m'self, but the SA-9500 is a NICE amplifier

It was their top-end integrated and it is - as I am sure you know - built like a brick outhouse.

Beefy amplifier.

You can pick up docs for it several places (most likely).
Check the link below (if you haven't already) and/or www.hifiengine.com and/or the "Digital Docs" Section at www.audiokarma.org

The top-line Pioneer stuff is generally quite decent.

FWIW, I only have one Pioneer component, and it's not exactly 'top end' but it does look cool and it sounds... OK.

all the best,
mrh

reelsmith's axiom: Its going to be used equipment when I sell it, so it may as well be used equipment when I buy it.

both the SA-9500 and SA-9500II manuals quote 4 ohm specs - mhardy6647 14:35:09 02/25/14 (0)
SA-9500: 80 wpc into 8 ohms @ 0.1% THD; 100 wpc into 4 ohms @ 0.1% THD
SA-9500II: 80 wpc into 8 ohms @ 0.05% THD; 100 wpc into 4 ohms @ 0.1% THD

The relatively small output increase into half the impedance (and the better HD 'spec' for the "II" into 8 ohm relative to 4) suggests that - by modern standards, at least - these aren't really "high current" amplifiers... but I wouldn't necessarily hold that against either version! ;-)

all the best,
mrh
