Re: Pioneer SX-1980 Receiver

I've not heard the 1980 but I have heard lower wattage Pioneer receivers of the 70's and while I don't think they are the end-all in amplification, I would not call the Pioneer sound hard. In fact they are very smooth. I agree that Yamaha was ahead of Pioneer. I don't have enough experience with Kenwood and JVC to judge them. You want to hear some hard solid state, listen to some early Dynaco or Crown.
