Description

Pioneer SA-9500 MKI used

(MKI better than MKII)

It combines massive stereo output power with a delicacy of transparency; a rare blend in these days of lots of power at any cost.

The Pioneer SA-9500 does deliver an unusually large continuous power output of 80 watts per channel, min RMS at 8 ohms from 20 Hertz to 20,000 Hertz with no more than 0.1% total harmonic distortion, but it also ensures that even when operated at low volumes the performance retains a crisp, sparkling clarity.

The dynamic response and reliability of the SA-9500 are matched with a flexibility of use you’ll rarely find in this price range. Tone control versatility, for instance: both the bass and treble sections have 3-position turnover selection and there’s a tone on/off switch for “flat” response at a touch.
