Brian,
Right on. I used to deal with the David Dean Smith stores in CT and in the very early 70's they sold Pioneer and Sony (electronics only, no speakers) as lower priced, high quality alternatives to their McIntosh line. (before Pioneer showed up on every corner) They were well received as good products in those days and in A-B demos, the Pioneers held up very well against the Macs. This was the era of the SX-990 and 1500 TD and the following year the SX-727 and 828. Sony had the STR-6050 and similar models. At that time, most of us thought Pioneer had the better styling and sound over Sony with the McIntosh line as the standard of comparison in both areas.Fair Trade Laws were still in force at that time, so everything was sold at list except phono carts when sold with a turntable.
