Pioneer SX-10AE Stereo Receiver

It’s back to basics with Pioneer’s refreshingly simple SX-10AE, featuring a discrete stereo amplifier rated to deliver 45 watts per channel into 8 ohms (with 0.1 percent total harmonic distortion), bass and treble controls, an A/B speaker selector, remote control, and something that tends to be overlooked in today’s digital world: an AM/FM tuner with 40 quick-access presets and station naming. Retro with a Twist: As retro as it may seem, the receiver supports wireless streaming via Bluetooth-enabled devices while skipping a feature many old-schoolers will miss: a phono input. Otherwise, connections are limited to four analog inputs, a line output, a sub pre-out for connection to a powered subwoofer, and a front-panel headphone jack. Price: $249
