Got this safe and sound
Pioneer sk-550
Nicer looking box than the sk-707 but not as good in sound... Good highs but lacks in bass
I like the chrome behind the grills

super and all that

Looks great, didn't know Pioneer made so many models, I only remember a couple from the 80's. Since I've joined the forum I've seen a few that I never seen before; this is one of them.  Was this model ever available in the UK?

took me a while to stumble onto the pioneer boxes as well

they made some high end boxes...the best of the best is the 909 of course

Nice looking Pioneer and great that it made half way around the world intact! Looks pretty big...how does it compare size-wise with a box I'm more likely to have seen?

samovar - 2013-11-09 06:14

a great box Lee, the SK series is wonderful!

radio.raheem - 2013-11-09 06:18

Nice box lee....the 909 is a beut but it's just so cold sounding...the highs on the other hand nearly match the m90

michiel - 2013-11-09 06:43

I've got just one 909, poor me  Very nice box Lee! Are you specializing in Pioneer? Wouldn't mind to get more of them myself, but they are hard to find here. Same as uk i guess...al the way from oz

hey stereo mad,

i have always been fascinated  by the pioneer models. 

what does the pioneer compares in size and sound? even if is 2 diff models.

brutus442 - 2013-11-09 16:50

Same here Hugo. I've only heard the SK-95 and it's on my "must have" list. I'd love to here this one though. How does it compare Lee?

size, i would say its as long as a phillips d8641 but a bit taller

sound,a bit like a sanyo 920 but not as good
