We've haven't had that many Technics receivers or amplifiers before and while this wasn't their biggest receiver during the receiver wars of the 70s, this is a huge beast of a receiver, especially in dimensions i.e. the width, it doesn't even sit properly/flushed on my stereo stand! Something that I didn't for see when the unit was dropped off to me for it's photo session.
I do admit, it has that Technic's sound signature that many love, it's not overly bright and forward and it's not mushy or "warm" as other people may call it. Actually, it almost reminds me of the big Rotel amplifiers. It's farily neutral in sound presentation which makes it flexible in speaker choices. I actually found it matches well with brigher sounding speakers like Sound Dynamic or JBL.
It's rated at 85wpc into 8ohms which is a large amount of power to drive even the most inefficient speakers. Not to mention, it does have a very clean look to it.
Not as collectable as compared to the other brand names but, I know I would gladly take this receiver over some of the lower powered receivers with the fancy blue lights that tend to sell for the same price or more. Weird...But, I digress. This is a very nice receiver.
The Technics SA-5570 is in excellent shape, that it even still has the sticker on the glass, in French. This leads me to believe this receiver may have come from Quebec, unless St. Boniface electronic stores or other French speaking communities within Canada told the manufacturers that French print was needed.
Either way, if you are looking for a clean looking receiver, that's in excellent shape and want power behind it, then look no further. This might be the one that you're looking for.
