"When you go to buy a new receiver, ask yourself these questions:
Does its FM tuner section guarantee high performance of spurious rejection as well as high sensitivity?
Does it include the very latest electronics circuit technology to assure a constant stable and high quality sound reproduction from small to large power output?
Are you going to be proud to own it for a long, long time?
Pioneer's new and elegantly designed SX-1250 AM/FM receiver provides a resounding yes to each of these questions - and then some.
No other Pioneer receiver provides such incomparable FM performance and sensitivity and then combines it with mammoth continuous power output of 160W per channel, min RMS at 8 Ohms, from 20 Hertz to 20,000 Hertz, with no more than 0.1% total harmonic distortion." - hifiengine
