This Pioneer SX-5590 is the European version of Pioneer’s SX-1250. It would definitely be considered a “Monster” receiver as it produces a whopping 160 watts per channel. It incorporates a huge toroidal power transformer. It has the usual dark faceplate as is common with most European versions. Given that many feel the SX-1250 was the best receiver Pioneer ever produced it stands to reason that the SX-5590 is in a similar position. It features:
- Tone on/off
- 30hz and 8khz filters
- Tape duplicate switch
- FM muting on/off
- FM multipath
- Adaptor on/off
- Mic left/right inputs
- 2 tape in/outputs
- 1 aux input
- 2 phono inputs
- Phono 2 switch for both mic and phono 2
- Stereo and mono modes
- Tuning and signal meters
- Dimensions 21 7/8 x 7 3/8 x 18 3/4
- Weight 64 lbs
The SX-1250 is an extremely popular receiver and has a huge following among collectors. It’s European version , the SX-5590, is probably even harder to find but at the same time is less well known. Still, the SX-5590 can sell for a good sum of money in good working condition – usually around $700-$800.
