While the Pioneer QX-9900 is fairly rare it’s not a hotly desired receiver. Still, in very good working condition they can sell for up to $600.
Have had the pleasure of owning a few of these. If in good condition, cleaned properly and tuned up, it is a VERY beautiful looking and sounding machine. Incredible sound, very nicely organized controls and good looking face panel. Lots of power, little distortion but…very, very heavy. Over 50 lbs, so not very compatible with flimsy furniture.
But, drives ANY speaker you connect and you can connect a ton of them. If you can get one in good shape, clean it right and treat it well, you will not be disappointed in it.
I have one in perfect condition I am looking to sell if anyone is interested. It was my dad’s and he has passed away and I need to declutter. 785-383-4017
Im interested…what are you asking for it
Had purchased one when they first came out while stationed in Germany 1974. Had it for a long time and made the poor decision to give it to my step-daughter. she sold it for her drug habit. Wish I had kept it. Have been looking for one ever since. Are you looking to sell it and if so for how much.
I have one with original manual , it was supposed to be thrown out but I just couldn’t do it . It has a note that says front and rear speaker not working
Looks very clean and was wrapped in plastic and stored in attic
If interested I could send cod
Do you still have this?
