Performance

This is a fabulous sounding system. I have always wondered how Sony developed such a big reputation; they had obviously gotten it right sometime in the past! Very clear & even sound somewhere between Rotel and Yamaha. Very easy to listen to with quality sound across the full audio spectrum. Tuner works very well in FM mode & AM.

Condition

The cabinet is in very good order with a single lead out of the cabinet to power all the components. There is no marking on face plates, cases and rear panels in excellent condition. All writing in very very good order. The cabinet has a minor lifting off of some wood grain (plastic) near the Sony badge top left corner.

A very cool system that sounds great in the true 70's audiophile style.
