Onkyo TX-8522 Stereo Receiver – Thoroughly Tested & Working Perfectly, with Onkyo Remote
Experience powerful, pristine stereo sound with the Onkyo TX-8522—a premium 2-channel receiver combining high-current amplification, sophisticated engineering, and modern connectivity. This unit has been thoroughly tested, works perfectly, and includes an Onkyo remote for convenient operation from your listening chair.
The TX-8522 delivers a robust 100 watts per channel into 8 ohms using Onkyo’s acclaimed Wide Range Amplifier Technology (WRAT) and high-current, low-impedance design. The discrete output stage circuitry, oversized isolated power transformer, and heavy-duty extruded aluminum heat sink ensure clean power delivery and long-term reliability. This receiver easily drives speakers down to 4-ohm impedance, making it compatible with a wide range of bookshelf and floorstanding speakers.
Beyond its exceptional amplifier section, the TX-8522 offers comprehensive connectivity including a high-quality moving magnet phono input for turntables, three audio inputs, two A/V inputs with composite video switching, and dual tape outputs. The built-in FM/AM tuner features 40 presets with station naming and direct access tuning. Additional features include XM Satellite Radio ready capability, iPod dock compatibility (with optional Onkyo dock), Pure Audio/Direct mode for bypassing tone controls, and A/B speaker switching for dual speaker pairs.

Technics SA-600 AM/FM Stereo Receiver 70 WPC — Japan
Sherwood S-8250 CP AM/FM Stereo Receiver 25 WPC
Twenty-five watts a channel into 8 ohms from Sherwood's Certified Performance series — the range where Sherwood printed the measured figures for the individual unit rather than for the model. MM phono, noise filter, mute/mono, loudness and A/B speakers, behind a brushed aluminium face with walnut-grain side panels. Level 2 serviced here: bias and DC offset set, every control deoxidised.
JVC JR-S201 Receiver – 35 WPC, Japan, SEA EQ, Excellent
Thirty-five watts a channel at 0.01% distortion with a damping factor of 70 — numbers most larger receivers of 1978 could not reach. A five-band S.E.A. graphic equalizer sits on the front panel at 40, 250, 1k, 5k and 15kHz, alongside MM phono, two tape loops and push-button speaker terminals. Made in Japan, arrived professionally serviced; cosmetically graded Excellent.
Pioneer SX-50 Silver Face Receiver – 50 WPC, Pre-Outs, 1983
Fifty watts a channel into 8 ohms at 0.007% distortion, and — unusually for a receiver this size — pre-out and main-in jacks on the back, so it can feed a subwoofer, take an equalizer in the loop, or hand off to a larger power amp. Introduced in 1983 with switchable CD and TV audio inputs, presets held by three AA cells, and the silver face of the decade that was ending. Graded Very Good.
Kenwood KR-A4070 Stereo Receiver – 60WPC, Phono, Original Remote
Sixty watts a channel into 8 ohms across the full band at 0.01% distortion, with an MM phono input at 2.5mV, a tape monitor loop, and separate bass, treble and balance. The original Kenwood remote is here, which is uncommon on a receiver of this age. Level 1 serviced; cosmetically graded Good, with honest wear for its years.
Sherwood S-7250 CP Stereo Receiver – 20WPC, Phono, Wood Cabinet
Twenty watts a channel into 8 ohms across the full 20 Hz to 20 kHz band, an MM phono input at 80 dB signal-to-noise, and a tape monitor loop. Sherwood built these in small runs in Chicago and sold them through the same shops that carried Marantz and McIntosh. Still in its original wood cabinet. Level 1 serviced here; condition Very Good.
