Mallette Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 Panny SA-XR 70. My dearly departed wife sent it back saying it was dead. It was. I am no tech, but don't send things to the curb. Opened it up and saw a bit of goo on a part. Posted in tech and @Marvel confirmed it had lost its magic smoke, probably in service to the amp. So, ordered on up and it's back in business for six bucks! Going to put the speakers up on the top of the kitchen cabinets tomorrow. My vintage and much enjoyed LX-5 Lynaems from the late, lamented Radio Shack. Dave 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marvel Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I've hesitated to ask... I hope that is all it was. I will keep my fingers crossed for a while yet. Bruce Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I really like both the SA-XR25 and 55 that I had. Great job! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mallette Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 They all are fine amps. Used 25s and the 70 at various times to drive my K'horns and they did so as well as the high priced spread, and always better than SS. Still bargains.

teaman Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I still have at least two Panasonic SA-HE200 AVR's. They shamed my Yamaha HTR series receivers. The Yammys are long gone, but I figure eventually I will find someone that wants one. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtimer Posted February 2, 2019 Share Posted February 2, 2019 I have an SA-HE100 that only puts out sound from one channel. Any hints for what may be wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used them on my PC for years and always said one of the few that didn't make me want to jump up and run to the K'horns when listening to something well recorded. That 360 dispersion provides a seamless experience totally free from "beaming." Always wondered why they weren't more widely used. Clearly not a matter of cost.

Mallette Posted February 2, 2019 Author Share Posted February 2, 2019 Well, all done. Sounds great! So, the house is now complete with FM from front to rear so I can play things on my main system through the Ramsey FM transmitter I built. It sounds better than most all stations. Sad they went under...I suspect the continuing legal assault from the Feds did them in finally. Great stuff! Did a search on Aliexpress and found quite a few up to 50w! That would almost certainly get you noticed in a metro area, but well out in the woods (like 25 miles from any significant town and a 100 from a significant metro area) you might get away with it. I would go over 1w in a city. I've run my for years now in Houston and now in Texarkana and it covers my yard nicely. A few were switchable from 1w to 7w. Specs said 200 meters at 7w. But the provided BNC mount antenna is very small...I am certain you get a mile or more with a full wave antenna. Sound quality? Didn't see any commentary pro or con. All the 5 star reviews I looked at commented only on range, build quality, and ease of use. Highly recommend these for wife friendly, easy, inexpensive access to your main system. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
