In a lot of ways this is a swell stereo receiver. When receiver shopping in 1979 I almost bought this SX-880. Compared to the SX-850 this model is almost devoid of features. The low (subsonic) filter while effective at 15Hz only has a 6dB/Oct slope, not very useful. My biggest caveat is that it puts out the same power into 8 as 4 ohms. A well designed amp should provide a bit (10w or so) more power into 4 ohms than into 8 ohms. Pretty to look at but not as desirable as an SX-850 or SX-838. I purchased a Hitachi SR-804 instead of this SX-880 in 1979 and still use it as my main amp. Still though, this SX-880 would be fun to try out.

Would you consider this a good receiver, like comparable Marantz, Sansui model?
