That Mac is beautiful, and I bet it sounds great. What kind of power does it make, and how does it perform?
I have an old Pioneer Spec1 and Spec2 amp and preamp. I need to get it reconditioned. It still works, but the pots need cleaning, and I would imagine some stuff on the board needs replacing. It is scratchy when adjusting the majority of the pots. It puts out MASSIVE power, though.
Currently, I can't hook it up. I'm living in an apartment. I have some SVS bookshelf speakers that I have hooked up to it before I moved, and it sounded like a PA system. It's the loudest bookshelf stereo I've heard by a decent margin.
Eventually, I will have all new SVS towers, surrounds or bookshelfs, subs, and Emotiva amps and processors. If I can ever afford a house. Once I have a place to build my dream system, it will come together.

It’s relatively low power by modern standards, putting out 75 watts per channel, but I’ve never noticed any shortcomings.
Old pioneer gear was incredible, I’d say it’s absolutely worth getting yours back into operating order!

75 is plenty for most applications. I'm sure it's a clean and powerful 75W. I've heard some people run Khorns on 2W or less and they can blow the corners of your foundation apart...
Yeah, the Spec1 and Spec2 are fairly iconic. They were used in many studios and are rack mountable. I need to get them fixed up.
