  Thats a tough call. The Scott is 70 watts, And I think the Pioneer is 70-75 watts on 2 channels. The pioneer may be a tad better built. But I remeber the early Pioneers being a little colored in their sound, a tad bright. But if I had to pick, go for the Pioneer, Looks nice, and quad is great. If yo do go with the QX, they still sell the speaker jack for the back. Heres a link

    i ended up getting the qx for 20 dollars last week...it needs tuner lamps (same as marantz 2220b;8v,200/250ma?)

    at the thrift store, the service guy hooked up the 370r and qx to some sansui sp2500s for some quick comparisons:
    the scott had good sound...bit better than the qx in the lower range...
    its tuner was much better than the qx as well

    i chose the qx for its quad feature, nice mid sound... the highs can get a bit silly( ear piercing), but most importantly, the innards were in superlative condition

    the scott looked like its been though a couple of floods...rust everywhere!

    thanks for your reply!

    take care
